Pak to raise JK rights situation with Krishna

REZAUL H LASKAR\PTI

Islamabad, July 1: Pakistan will raise the human rights situation in Jammu and Kashmir with External Affairs Minister S M Krishna during his visit here later this month, Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said Thursday.
The issue of Jammu and Kashmir and alleged human rights violations there will figure in talks to be held with Krishna when he comes to Pakistan on July 15, Qureshi told reporters during a function in his hometown of Multan.
“We have raised our voice about the human rights violations there and we will continue to do so. When the Indian Foreign Minister comes here soon, that will be the proper occasion to direct his attention towards the incidents occurring in Srinagar and the (Kashmir) valley,” Qureshi said in response to a question.
In his address at the function, Qureshi said the two new nuclear reactors to be built in Pakistan with the Chinese assistance will be open to inspection by the International Atomic Energy Agency.
