Kashmir the single issue, says Imran-Army and the political leadership are on one page to take dialogue with India forward, says Pak. PM
- Pakistan’s Army and political leadership are on “one page” to take dialogue with India forward, Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan said on Wednesday at the ground-breaking ceremony for the corridor.
- Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Bajwa was also present.
- The four-kilometre corridor from the border with India will allow pilgrims easy access and will be ready in time for Sikh founder Guru Nanak’s 550th birth anniversary on November 23, 2019.
- In a speech largely reaching out to the Indian government to “break the shackles of the past” and restart engagement, Mr. Khan also struck a discordant note on Kashmir, referring to the dispute as the “single issue” between India and Pakistan.
- India has maintained that terrorism sponsored by Pakistan is holding back the dialogue process.
- Emphasising on improvement of Indo-Pak ties, Mr. Khan said there was need for “showing strength, will and determination” at the level of the leadership.
