JEDDAH, May 30 (INP): Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi on Thursday said that protest from the youth in Indian Occupied Kashmir shows their state of wariness from India.

The foreign minister was addressing a session of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation on Jammu and Kashmir in Jeddah.

The foreign minister said that Kashmiri youth taking to streets shows their lack of faith in Indian leadership.

Foreign Minister Qureshi said that a meeting is not set between Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Imran Khan, adding that the Pakistani prime minister never turned down the possibility of a meeting.

Earlier, talking to Secretary General Organization of Islamic Cooperation Yousef Al-Othaimeen on the sidelines of OIC Foreign Ministers Council in Jeddah, Shah Mehmood Qureshi has said solution to the challenges being faced by the Muslim Ummah lies in unity ad joint efforts.

Qureshi expressed hope that the OIC Secretary General will review implementation of the joint decisions taken about Islamophobia in the meeting of OIC Executive Council in March this year.

“These decisions included writing of letter on the subject of Islamophobia to the UN Secretary General, contact with the concerned telecom companies for checking blasphemous material on social media, and appointment of UN special representative”.

Lauding the role of OIC Contact Group for Jammu and Kashmir, Qureshi said the group has played an important role in highlighting the Kashmir issue at international level and drawing the international community’s attention toward the atrocities being committed against innocent people of occupied Kashmir.

He said Pakistan wants that Kashmir issue should be resolved as per UN resolutions and aspirations of the Kashmiris.

The foreign minister thanked the OIC Secretary General for supporting Pakistan on Kashmir and other issues.

The OIC Secretary General said Pakistan is an important member of the organization.

He said the organization welcomes the suggestions presented by Pakistan and gives them special importance.

later speaking to journalists in Jeddah, Qureshi said that there existed a strong need for Indian leadership to be like Manmohan Singh.

He said that Pakistan has always emphasised on talks with India.

The foreign minister said that if the two leaders meet on the sidelines of any meeting or event then it is a positive sign and good beginning for both neighbouring countries.
