He expressed dismay on the effort made prior by Pakistan to promote peace and stability in the region, saying: “Pakistan’s efforts for peace have been shown disregard by India in the past, If India too wishes that the region becomes a harbinger of peace then it should reciprocate Pakistan’s gestures and start off by changing its stance and policy in Kashmir.”
