May 13, 2017 20:28

Pakistans refusal to accept its role in disturbing peace in India and funding militants in Jammu and Kashmir is a serious challenge and it is necessary to isolate Islamabad at all international forums, Union minister Nitin Gadkari said on Saturday.

Road Transport, Highways and Shipping minister Nitin Gadkari said the Indian government has been consistently taking initiatives to resolve all the outstanding regional and bilateral issues with all neighbouring countries in a peaceful manner through dialogue.

But Pakistans intransigence in disturbing peace and tranquillity in the region harbouring terrorist outfits and funding extremists in Jammu and Kashmir is a serious challenge and we need to isolate Islamabad at all international forums, Gadkari said while addressing the Overseas Friends of the Bharatiya Janata Party in London.

Gadkari called upon Britain to support Indias fight against terrorism in South Asia as this scourge against humanity was disturbing peace and hampering economic growth in the entire region.
