Pakistan on Tuesday asked India to respond with an open mind to the ideas of demilitarisation and self-governance, to help find a solution of Kashmir dispute and for durable peace in the region.
Foreign Office Spokesperson said it would be regrettable if India chose to be evasive in responding to those ideas.
The spokesperson in response to a question about the statement by Spokesman of the Indian Ministry of External Affairs on Tuesday said, "The ideas of demilitarisation and self governance remain relevant towards the resolution of Kashmir dispute. These have also been supported by APHC Chairman Mirwaiz Umer Farooq and other Kashmiri leaders in the Indian Occupied Kashmir."
The spokesperson said the Kashmir dispute needed to be addressed with sincerity, flexibility and courage by both sides and added Pakistan was committed to promotion of a solution that met the aspirations of the Kashmiri people.
She said, "The repetition of reference to Gilgit and Baltistan by the Indian Ministry of External Affairs Spokesman is uncalled for."
