ISLAMABAD: The Federal Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry on Thursday said that Pakistan wishes to normalise relations with India but it won’t be possible until India changes its policy towards Kashmir and revokes its August 5, 2019, move.
The minister was speaking during a press conference after a cabinet meeting here in Islamabad, during which he stressed that Pakistan cannot reinstate trade relations with the neighbouring country while it continues to commit a massacre against Muslims and refuses to give Kashmiri people their due right.
On August 5, 2019, the Indian government had rushed through a presidential decree to abolish Article 370 of the Constitution which grants special status to Indian occupied Kashmir amid rising tensions in the disputed valley with unprecedented numbers of Indian troops deployed in the region.
