Jammu and Kashmir as Serious as East Pakistan Tragedy: Asif Ali Zardari

Pakistan's former President Asif Ali Zardari on Wednesday said the Indian government’s decision to scrap special status for Jammu and Kashmir was as serious as the “East Pakistan tragedy”. The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader made the comment while addressing a joint session of parliament for a second day to discuss Islamabad’s future course of action in the wake of India’s move on Kashmir. “The Kashmir issue is the second major incident after the separation of East Pakistan. The Pakistan Peoples Party was formed for the cause of Kashmir. Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, after negotiations, took back the land from (former Indian Prime Minister) Indira Gandhi,” Zardari was quoted as saying by Geo News. (IANS)
