Kashmir is 'an unfinished agenda of partition', says Pakistan Army Chief Raheel Sharif

Pakistan Army stirred controversy on Wednesday by saying that Kashmir was 'an unfinished agenda of partition.'

The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), Major General Asim Saleem Bajwa on Wednesday tweeted quoting the Chief of Army Staff, General Raheel Sharif as "Pakistan and Kashmir are inseparable."

According to Bajwa's tweets, Pakistan Army Chief was speaking at the National Defense University (NDU) in Islamabad.

He reportedly said, "Kashmir is an unfinished agenda of partition, Pakistan and Kashmir are inseparable. While we wish peace, stability in region, we want Kashmir's Just Resolution in the light of UN resolutions and as per aspirations of Kashmiris to bring lasting peace in region."

Talking about the wars, Raheel said that the "contours of future wars are fast changing" but Pakistan was capable to defend it.

"While our enemies (are) supporting terrorism to stoke sub conventional conflicts and destabilise our country...(we are) fully determined and capable of defeating nefarious designs," he said. He also spoke about the use of proxies in the war against other countries.

"Pakistan (is) opposed to the use proxies versus other countries and would not allow any country to use proxies versus Pakistan," he said

General Raheel's statement came as war of words escalated between Pakistan and India.

Pakistan has repeatedly accused India's external intelligence agency RAW of being involved in militancy in Pakistan.

India has always rejected such allegations by Pakistan. India's objection to the USD 46 billion agreement with China for an economic corridor has also upset Pakistan.

India has raised concerns with China over the project as it goes through Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
