Border tensions getting worse: FM Shah Mehmood Qureshi

MULTAN: Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi has said Pakistan and the whole region is passing through a very critical juncture.

Addressing the closing ceremony Friday of 706th Urs of Hazrat Shah Rukn-e-Alam, he warned that Pakistan and this region is experiencing very critical situation. Pakistan’s eastern and western borders are facing continuous tension these days and the situation is getting worse. The regional situation, particularly Middle East is becoming critical and increasing problems, he added.

Speaking on the situation in Muslim countries particularly in occupied Jammu and Kashmir, he said they are also facing critical situation and their miseries are increasing day by day. India has deprived Kashmiris of their constitutional rights. India has increased aggression on Kashmiri people and Indian forces were openly violating constitution. Qureshi said India did not allow members of Indian Jamaat Ghousia to participate in 706th Urs of Hazrat Shah Rukn-e-Alam. The Modi government did not permit members of Jamaat Ghousia to attend the Urs and they were forced to hold the Urs in their respective Indian states. He especially prayed for reducing miseries of Kashmiris and the Muslim world and also for Pakistan’s safety.
