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.

If Pakistani elderly self-distance infections could drop 30%: study

If we do nothing, COVID-19 could infect 206 million Pakistanis and kill 691,000. This is the estimation of researchers from the Imperial College London COVID-19 Response Team who have published country-wise projections in a March 26 report ‘ The Global Impact of COVID-19 and Strategies for Mitigation and Suppression ’ Furthermore, using an infection fatality rate from China, this means 4.4 million Pakistanis would require hospitalisation and from among those, 917,000 individuals would require critical care. Pakistan has a population of 220 million people. The research is based on the infection fatality rate from China, country health care system capacities and that one person with coronavirus is likely to infect 3 others. (You can find the excel sheet with Pakistan numbers here: Imperial-College-COVID19-Global-unmitigated-mitigated-suppression-scenarios.xlsx ) Forty-seven researchers crunched the numbers and made these projections to give countries, including Pakistan, some idea of...
