PM, Saudi crown prince again discuss Kashmir issue
September 3, 2019
JEDDAH (92 News) – Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman discussed the Kashmir issue on Tuesday. According to the reports in the Arab TV, Imran Khan once again telephoned the Saudi crown prince and apprised him about the latest situation in Indian Occupied Kashmir. During the telephonic call, both the leaders exchanged views on overall situation of the region. This was the third phone call between Pm Khan and the Saudi crown prince within three weeks. Earlier on August 27, PM Imran Khan and  Mohammed bin Salman held telephonic conversation on early Tuesday and discussed situation in the occupied Kashmir. PM Imran apprised MBS about the latest situation in the occupied valley, entire lockdown and Indian aggression on innocent Kashmiris, according to Saudi Press Agency (SPA). The Saudi crown prince stressed upon the implementation on the United Nations resolutions to resolve core issue of Kashmir, a longstanding dispute between Pakistan and India. On August 20, both leaders had telephonic conversation over the Kashmir situation. Imran Khan had called up the Saudi Crown Prince to inform him about India’s move to revoke the special status of occupied Jammu and Kashmir. On the other hand, the humanitarian crisis deepened amid 30 days continued blackout and curfew by the Indian Occupied Kashmir (IoK). The Kashmir valley remains cut off from the rest of the world since August 05 due to the continued blockade and suspension of internet, mobile and landline phones and closure of TV channels. The worst type of humanitarian crisis is looming large on the horizon of the occupied territory as people are facing acute shortage of food, medicines and other commodities. Hospitals have run out of medicine stock, while staff finds it difficult to turn up for duty due to curfew and restrictions imposed after India scrapped Jammu and Kashmir’s special status a month ago.
