She also informed the security council president about Prime Minister Imran Khan’s public statement in which he offered dialogue to India, but also said that Pakistan would respond if India embarked on any misadventure.

While giving a policy statement over the Pulwama attack in the occupied Kashmir that killed nearly 40 Indian army personnel on Feb 14, the premier on Feb 19 sternly responded to India’s blame game against Pakistan. “I have been hearing and seeing on Indian media that their politicians are calling for revenge from Pakistan. If India attacks, then Pakistan will not think but retaliate,” he cautioned.

PM Khan assured to investigate the perpetrators of Pulwama attack if India shares “actionable intelligence with Pakistan.”

He stressed that the Kashmir issue is like the Afghan conflict, which will only be resolved through talks.
