Kashmir issue be resolved for regional peace: Fawad

ISLAMABAD, Mar 2 (APP):Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Chaudhry Fawad Hussain Saturday said the Kashmir issue should be resolved in an amicable way for durable peace in the region.
Pakistan, he said, wanted peace in the region and settlement of all mutual issues through dialogue with India.

Talking to a private TV channel, he said Prime Minister Imran Khan acted sagely in the recent tension with India which was created due to war mongering attitude of the Indian leadership.
The aggression manifested by the Indian leadership, he said, had brought the two nuclear weapon states to the brink of war, endangering the lives of tens of millions of people on both sides of the border. The prime minister through his deft handling stopped the situation from further worsening and for his efforts to maintain in the region, he deserved the Nobel Peace Prize, he added.
The minister said he had submitted a resolution in the National Assembly Secretariat for awarding of Nobel Peace Prize to Prime Minister Imran Khan for his proactive role in reducing recent tension between Pakistan and India.
Replying to a question, he said the opposition wanted lenient policy form the government regarding accountability against its leadership but it was not possible for Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government because accountability of corrupt people was narrative of the incumbent government. PTI leadership had zero tolerance against corruption, he added.
