India, self-determination, Shehbaz sharif

ISLAMABAD: Leader of Opposition in National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif on Thursday said India would have to give Kashmiris their right to self-determination, otherwise the conflict would not be resolved, ARY News reported.

“Wars are no solution to any issue as after all you have to sit on the table in the end,” Shehbaz Sharif said while addressing the joint session of the parliament over escalating tension between Pakistan and India.

It was not the first time that Pakistan-India escalation had taken place, we have fought several wars earlier and wasted our resources, he said.

The former Punjab chief minister said the Kashmir conflict should be resolved according to the wishes of Kashmiris.

“The world should understand that there will never be peace in Kashmir if Indian brutalities continued,” he said.

He refuted Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s allegation on Pakistan for involvement in the Pulwama attack. The barbarian incidents that have taken place in occupied Kashmir will give birth to more Adil Ahmad Dar and Burhan Wani, he maintained.

Lauding the Pakistan Air Force for its robust response to the Indian aggression and violation of the Line of Control (LoC), he said the valour exhibited by the Pakistani armed forces had established that they would protect every part of the country.

Paying tribute to the PAF officer Squadron Leader Hassan Siddiqui who shot down Indian jets, he said his speech would remain incomplete without mentioning about him. He said Hassan Siddiqui was a national hero.

Shehbaz Sharif said it was an open secret that Narendra Modi was a terrorist who was involved in massacre of Muslims in Gujarat.

“Several countries had banned Modi’s entry,” he recalled.

The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) president said East Timor was separated from Indonesia in the name of religion, likewise South Sudan was also separated for the same reason, while when it came to Muslims the world powers kept silence.

He said the situation of Palestine was no different than Kashmir.

Young girl’s tragic story makes her symbol of Yemen war

Buthaina Mansur al-Rimi’s life has changed drastically since last year — orphaned in Sanaa, the little girl controversially ended up in Saudi Arabia for medical care and has just returned to Yemen’s capital. Her entire immediate family was wiped out in an air strike by a Saudi-led coalition that backs Yemen’s government, using an explosive device Amnesty International says was made in the US. Images of Buthaina’s rescue and a picture of her swollen and bruised at a hospital trying to force open one of her eyes with her fingers were beamed worldwide. That international fame saw her become something of a propaganda pawn in the war between Yemen’s Iran-backed Huthi rebels and Saudi media. “I was in my mother’s room with my father, sisters, brother and uncle, the first missile hit, and my father went to get us sugar to get over the shock, but then the second missile hit, and then the third,” she says. “And then the house fell,” adds the little girl, who says she is eight. It was the
