Pak. PM says his overtures were turned down; warns of crisis escalating between the nuclear powers
Prime Minister Imran Khan of Pakistan intensified his criticism of India on Wednesday over its Kashmir crackdown, saying he would no longer seek dialogue with Indian officials and raising the threat of a military escalation between the nucleararmed neighbours.
In an interview with The New York Times, Mr. Khan complained bitterly about what he described as repeated rebuffs from Prime Minister Narendra Modi at his entreaties for communication, both before and after the August 5 decision to end Kashmir’s special status.
“There is no point in talking to them. I mean, I have done all the talking. Unfortunately, now when I look back, all the overtures that I was making for peace and dialogue, I think they took it for appeasement,” Mr. Khan said during the interview at the Prime Minister’s office in Islamabad. “There is nothing more that we can do.”
Mr. Khan has repeatedly denounced the Modi government for terminating the autonomy of Kashmir. India deployed thousands of troops to quell any possible unrest and severed nearly all communications in the region.
