Ready to review decision if India agrees to reconsider its actions on Kashmir: Pakistan

Kashmir Times. Dated: 8/9/2019 12:38:35 AM

ISLAMABAD, Aug 8 (Agencies): Pakistan is ready to review its decision against India if New Delhi agreed to reconsider its actions on Kashmir, country's Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said on Thursday.
"Are they ready to review their decisions? If they do, we can also review our decisions. Review will be on both sides. That is what Simla (agreement) says," Qureshi said.
Qureshi's remarks came a day after Pakistan expelled the Indian High Commissioner as part of its decision to downgrade the diplomatic ties with India over what it called New Delhi's "unilateral and illegal" move to revoke the special status of Jammu and Kashmir. Pakistan also announced that it will review all "bilateral arrangements" with India.
The announcement was made after Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan chaired a crucial meeting of the National Security Committee (NSC) here, attended by top civil and military leadership, during which it was also decided to suspend the bilateral trade and review the "bilateral arrangements".
India on Monday revoked Article 370 of the Constitution to withdraw the special status given to Jammu and Kashmir and bifurcated the state into two Union Territories -- Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh.
