The elite meeting of Pakistan’s National Security Advisor Mr. Moeed Yusuf by an Indian columnist Mr. Karan Thapar is essentially directed on relations of both countries. The Indian journalist raised the Kashmir issue by asking, For what reason is Pakistan so animated by the interior legal changes in Jammu and Kashmir? and Pakistan is trying to do exactly same with Gilgit Baltistan.

Accordingly, Mr. Moeed said that these two are very surprising issues. He said that Kashmir is a contested domain and no perpetual changes can be made singularly by India. Moeed Yusuf said that Farooq Abdullah says not a single Kashmiri needs in sight as Indian Kashmiri that they would prefer to be managed by Chinese than India. Mr thapar without listening asked again a question about Gilgit Baltistan and blamed Pakistan for changing its socioeconomics and India can do the same in IOK . Mr. Mooed answered that there are three levels at which a state can operate in international comity of nations. India has slid into a dissident express that has ignored the U.N Charter on different events. Mr. Yusuf says that Kashmiris would favor not to join into India. The Kashmir issue must be settled by considering the Kashmiri public wishes or right of self determination. Speaking of Gilgit baltistan, is totally an internal matter of Pakistan, and its people might want to organize with Pakistan.

Then Mr. Thapar moved to another topic of Kalbhushan Yadhav, asking that why Pakistan didn’t provide the lawyer to Yadhav despite ICJ’s approval, asking further, LHR high court bar general’s statement and unfulfilled ICJ’s requirements. He Mr. Moeed then responded that the spy himself didn’t want the lawyer and had been abandoned by his own country.

And the last question was the inclusion of Pakistan in Mumbai attack 2008,and in terrorism which was an accusation. Mr.Moeed decline the involvement, moreover said that Pakistan reached out to help India in terror attack, at the time he implied on India to support terrorist attack in Pakistan. and further said that India had no proof against Pakistan supporting terrorism.
At the end of interview Mr. Moeed suggested peace to end the tensions between India and Pakistan.
