ISLAMABAD: Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar said Monday that Pakistan wanted to continue the peace process with India.
Speaking on the floor of the National Assembly, the foreign minister added that instead of increasing tension, options to stop violations along the Line of Control (LoC) were being explored.
“We have shown our commitment not to escalate any situation like this between India and Pakistan. We are committed to normalising relations.”
Khar added that Pakistan could not adopt the irresponsible behaviour shown by the Indian Army Chief and other representatives regarding the LoC violations. According to Khar no benefit had come from hurling accusations in the past.
The foreign minister informed the National Assembly session that the option to conduct an investigation into LoC violations by a third party had already been presented.
Khar further said that one Pakistani soldier was martyred during Indian violation along the LoC on January 6 and the Indian High Commissioner had been summoned to lodge a protest.
