Pakistan not to accept Indian hegemony in any case: Aziz

ISLAMABAD: Adviser on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz says Pakistan will not accept any Indian influence or hegemony under any circumstances.

Winding up debate on LoC situation in the National Assembly today, he said we are fully capable to defend our border.

He categorically stated that Pakistan would give a befitting response to any Indian aggression.

Aziz said India is heating up the situation on the Line of Control to deflect attention from its atrocities in Occupied Kashmir. He said the India attack on passenger bus and ambulance was the most regrettable incident contrary to all norms and principles.

He said Pakistan has written letters to the Foreign Ministers

of P-5 countries to apprise them about the Indian aggression on the civilians. He said Pakistan has never targeted civilians but the Indian side is deliberately targeting them to escalate the situation.

On the diplomatic front, the Adviser said Pakistan is forcefully raising the Kashmir dispute at all inter national forums. He said Pakistan will continue to support the Kashmiris right to self-determination which is totally indigenous in Nature and led by the Kashmiri youth.

Sartaj Aziz, however, said that Pakistan will continue to pursue the policy of peaceful neighborhood. We are ready for dialogue with India on the condition that Kashmir dispute is also included in it.
