Modi's statement on Balochistan indication of Indian interference: FO Spokesman
ISLAMABAD (Staff Report) - The Foreign Office Spokesman, Nafees Zakaria, has said that  the statement of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi shows that India is involved in subversive activities in Balochistan.

In an interview with state-run PTV, he described the Modi's statement as interference in internal affairs of Pakistan, through which he has attempted to divert world attention from the Kashmir issue.

Indian spy Kulbhushan Yadav has also confessed to his involvement in terrorist activities in the province, the spokesman maintained.

To a question, he said that Pakistan wants to resolve all outstanding disputes with India including Kashmir through peaceful dialogue.

He went on to say that the international community considers Kashmir a disputed territory. Similarly, he said UN resolutions on Kashmir are also yet to be implemented.

The spokesman said the international community has strongly condemned the atrocities of Indian forces in the occupied Kashmir.

He said the UN Secretary General has also expressed concern over the situation in occupied Kashmir, where Indian forces are committing state terrorism.

Nafees Zakaria urged the international community to build pressure on India and ensure implementation of the UN resolutions on the Kashmir issue immediately.
