International probe should be ordered into Kashmir encounters: Pak

Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi has said that an international probe should be conducted to investigate the recent encounters by the Indian security forces in Kashmir [ Images ].

Interacting with mediapersons in New York, Qureshi said the recent incidents in Kashmir indicated the struggle of the people of that region.

"The recent incidents in Kashmir are a reflection of an indigenous struggle of the Kashmiri people for independence," The Dawn quoted Qureshi, as saying.

Qureshi welcomed the confidence building measure taken by India [ Images ] and said the bilateral peace process between both the nations should resume soon.

He, however, said the talks were not a substitute for settlement of the Kashmir dispute.
