“On the occasion of G20 meeting, a severe protest would be done along with Hurriyet leaders at Islamabad. United Nations observer would be presented a memorandum in this regard as well. Sensitivity of Kashmir dispute needs to be felt as it may cause a nuclear war.

“Any international meeting at Srinagar is violation of international laws as it is a disputed territory. Holding of G20 meeting at Srinagar is a failure of Pakistan foreign policy. At present, Occupied Kashmir is really a jail,” he added.

Sirajul Haq said that Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari should hold public gathering in Muzaffarabad instead of Bagh. Sirajul Haq demanded of the President, prime minister, army chief and foreign minister to speed up the contacts with the friendly countries for stopping the G20 meeting in Srinagar, adding that these contacts should have been made far earlier. Sirajul Haq said that on our suggestion, FM Bilawal Bhutto during his recent Indian visit highlighted the situation of occupied Kashmir and importance of the issue.
