Pak Foreign Minister Qureshi loses cool when asked about nations backing them on Kashmir
Islamabad: Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi has recently lost his cool when he was asked on a television show about the names of 58 nations which his Prime Minister Imran Khan claimed to have been backing them at the United Nations Human Rights Commission, media reports said.
In an interview on a Pakistan television channel, Qureshi was asked the question after he had repeatedly endorsed Khan's statement at the UN.
Losing his cool, Qureshi said as quoted by NDTV, "On whose agenda are you working?" Mr Qureshi snapped at talk show host Javed Chaudhry. "Are you going to tell me or decide which countries have or have not supported Pakistan at the UN?... You may write whatever you want!"
Ever since India scrapped Articles 370 and 35A to strip Jammu and Kashmir of the special status which it enjoyed since Independence, Islamabad has been attacking New Delhi and also tried to internationalise the issue.
However, India repeatedly mentioned that Kashmir is entirely its internal matter, a stand which was widely acknowledged by several foreign nations.
During his address at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) last month, Pakistan Prime Minister Khan even threatened India with a nuclear war to be only aptly countered by New Delhi.
