Speaking to the reporters in Karachi, Salahuddin said, “There is a great chance of a nuclear war taking place between India and Pakistan over the Kashmir issue”.
“Pakistan is morally, constitutionally bound to provide concrete, substantial support to the ongoing freedom struggle on the territory of Kashmir. And, if Pakistan provides this support, there is a great chance of a nuclear war between the powers”, he added.
He said three wars have already been fought between the two countries over the Kashmir issue, adding that he can predict a fourth war with certainty because Kashmiris are no longer willing to compromise under any circumstances.
“Whether the world supports them or not, Pakistan stands by them or not; whether the United Nation performs its duty or not, they have taken a pledge to fight up to the last drop of their blood”, he added.
Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on July 22 chaired a high level meeting of National Security Council in Islamabad to discuss regional security and termed the ongoing situation in Kashmir a violation of International law and UN Security Council resolutions.
The meeting resolved to approach United Nations Human Rights Council on its own, and also on behalf of Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) contact group on Kashmir to request a body to send a fact-finding mission to Kashmir.
