WASHINGTON: 13,AUGUST,2019: Pakistan’s ambassador to the United States Asad Majeed Khan on Tuesday said India's unilateral actions put the entire at risk of conflict.

In an interview to American channel, Asad Majeed Khan urged the international community to intervene in Kashmir issue. 

He said India’s aggressive and unilateral actions posed a grave threat to an already very tense situation. 

The Pakistani envoy said, “Unilaterally changing the status of a region which has been seen by the international community over the years as a disputed territory has really put the region at the verge of a serious conflict.” 

“They are trying to rewrite history and they have tried to deprive the people of their identity. They have unilaterally tried to settle an issue which has been there on the United Nations (UN) agenda for almost 70 years,” the Pakistan's ambassador said. 

Responding to question about how Pakistan and India could de-escalate tensions, Khan said "it falls to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to lead the calls for peace." 

“I think the provocation clearly has come from India,” he added. 

“Prime Minister Imran Khan was here. He spoke to you personally. He also met President Trump at the White House. And we’ve been very consistent in making all the overtures for peace to India. Unfortunately, all those gestures have not been reciprocated.”

“It is for the United Nations… it is for friends United States and other international players, they need to intervene,” Khan added. (04)
