Qureshi urges India to 'behave responsibly' in border dispute with China
2020-05-28
[The News (Pak)] Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Wormtongue Qureshi
...a Pak political shape-changer. He is undistinguished except for his habit of periodically needing to have his lips reattached...
on Wednesday lashed out at New Delhi for "threatening regional peace via its aggressive attitude" as tensions between China and India grew surrounding the Ladakh region amid reports of both countries' soldiers engaging in disputes.

"India's intentions do not look good," said FM Qureshi, speaking to Geo News. "India has already heated up the Indian Kashmir
...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there....
e front and you know very well its attitude towards Nepal [on border issue]," he said, adding that New Delhi was also sabotaging peace in Afghanistan.

He blamed India for giving rise to tensions in the region by carrying out construction activities in territory that was considered disputed between it and China. "A war was fought between India and China in 1962 and again, India is resorting to aggressive posturing in the same territory," he said.

The foreign minister urged the Indian government to exhibit responsible behaviour by making use of the "mechanisms of dialogue and consultations to solve disputes".

Commenting on Prime Minister Modi's meeting with the National Security Advisor Ajit Doval and tri-services chiefs on the border dispute with China, Qureshi said that it remains to be seen what India's intentions in the region are.

"Pakistain has said this over and over again. I have said this to the UN Secretary-General and written letters to the UN Security Council that India is threatening peace [in the region] through its aggressive behaviour," he said.

#6  Oops - "Line of Actual Control". Here's a video of the "scuffle" (preferred term of the English-language local press)

#5  Try using in your search string the acronym that apparently is used by the parties to describe the border, "LAC" (Local Area of Control). That should filter out most of the irrelevant results.

Maybe you'll pull in a few Liberal Arts Colleges but I doubt it...

#3  Thanks TW, but the story I was looking for is the one where an India officer punched a Chinese officer in the face.

#2  All this nonsense is happening in the Ladakh region, Seeking cure. I did a quick related search for you on that, now appended at the bottom of the article. I’m sure a proper search will yield plenty of relevant articles for you. Happy reading!

#1  it should be "urges China to 'behave responsibly' in border dispute with India! It sounds like Qureshi is in the pay (pocket) of China.

China started this mess in the first place, I believe that India did the right thing in dealing with this issue.

Note, I tried to do a search for "China, India, border" (without the quotes) and got mostly irrelevant results that had nothing to do with my search keywords so I can link to the relevant articles. How can I narrow the results to just the keywords and not have to search through a couple thousands posts to find the one I'm looking for?
