WASHINGTON: Republican Senator Lindsey Graham has expressed concerns over the situation of occupied Kashmir after the Modi government revoked its special status from the Indian constitution, ARY News reported on Thursday.
In a telephonic conversation with Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi, Graham exchanged views on the Kashmir situation. Both the leaders exchanged views on the recent steps by the Bhartia Janta Party’s (BJP) government in India.
He urged both Pakistan and India to exchange dialogue on the matter, better the escalation on the matter.
Just spoke with the Pakistani Foreign Minister about the growing crisis in Kashmir. India’s decision to change the status quo must be addressed before it leads to a further escalation of tensions.
