TIL Desk/World/Islamabad/ Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Wednesday said that his government, the army and all political parties in the country are on the same page to improve ties with India, asserting that all issues, including Kashmir, can be resolved with “strength and will” of leadership of the two countries.
Khan made a strong pitch for better ties between the two nuclear-armed neighbours after laying the foundation stone for the historic Kartarpur Corridor linking two revered gurdwaras on both sides of the border in Kartarpur. However, India termed Khan’s reference to Kashmir as “deeply regrettable” and said he chose to politicise a pious moment.
The ministry of external affairs said Jammu and Kashmir was an “integral and inalienable” part of India. “It is deeply regrettable that the Prime Minister of Pakistan chose to politicise the pious occasion meant to realise the long pending demand of the Sikh community to develop a Kartarpur corridor by making unwarranted reference to Jammu and Kashmir which is an integral and inalienable part of India,” the ministry said.
