Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan, in a special address to the nation, on Monday declared that Islamabad’s Kashmir policy was at a “decisive” point. He said he wanted to let people know what is the way forward after India scrapped Article 370, which provided for Jammu and Kashmir’s special status.

He said that the country was successful in internationalising the issue of Kashmir and that he will highlight the crisis at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) on September 27.

In his address, he further assured the people of Pakistan that his government will stand by the Kashmiris till India lifts the restrictions in the Valley.

Outlining his government’s future strategy on Kashmir, the Pakistan Prime Minister said, “First, I believe, the entire nation should stand with the Kashmiri nation. I have said this that I will act as Kashmirs ambassador.”

“I will tell the world about this, I have shared this with heads of state that I have been in contact with. I will raise this issue at the UN as well,” he said while referring to his scheduled address to the UN General Assembly next month.

“I read in the newspapers that people are disappointed that Muslim countries are not siding with Kashmir. I want to tell you not to be disappointed; if some countries are not raising this issue because of their economic interests, they will eventually take this issue up. They will have to, with time,” he said.

Further, the cricketer-turned-politician claimed that PM Modi had made a “historic blunder” by revoking Kashmir’s special autonomy.

Tensions between India and Pakistan spiked after India abrogated provisions of Article 370 of the Constitution, evoking strong reactions from Pakistan. India has categorically told the international community that the scrapping of Article 370 was an internal matter and also advised Pakistan to accept the reality.
