After Maldives, Pak Delegates Raise Kashmir Issue In Colombo; India Hits Back

Days after Pakistan delegates raised the Kashmir issue inside the Maldives Parliament, they have raised the issue at another international forum that was underway in Colombo, only to be met with a strong protest from India.

The Pakistani delegates raised the Kashmir issue at a UNICEF South Asian Parliamentarian Conference on Children Right’s Convention in Colombo. Gaurav Gogoi, the Indian representative and Member of Parliament from Kaliabor in Assam, countered straightaway and strongly. Reminding Pakistan that ‘Jammu and Kashmir is an internal matter’, Gogoi said Pakistan has its own troubles to deal with such as ‘human rights, the plight of minorities and legislation such as the blasphemy law.’
