India adopting coercive means, accuses Pakistan
Saturday, August 23 2003 14:59 Hrs (IST)
Islamabad: Charging India with adopting "coercive means", Pakistan has written letters to United Nations
General Assembly and the Security Council to urge New Delhi to start composite Indo-Pak dialogue and
agree for a ceasefire on the Line of Control (LoC).
In letters addressed to the UN General Assembly and Security Council presidents, Pakistan's Permanent
Ambassador to the UN Munir Akram said, "So far, there is no talk about talks, no roadmap and no
signpost for moving towards a genuine process for peace and security in South Asia."
Calling upon the international community to urge India to agree for resumption of composite dialogue,
he said, "A bilateral dialogue is not a favour, which either country would bestow on the other.
"India's demand that Pakistan make unilateral concessions to its position is designed to frustrate not
facilitate a dialogue. India's aversion to talks, is premised on seeking concessions from Pakistan
unilaterally through coercive means."
