NEW DELHI: Barely three days after India called off it’s first direct conversation with the Imran Khan government, Pakistan Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry on Monday further queered the pitch by declaring in the Pakistan National Assembly that slain Kashmiri terrorist Burhan Wani was a “freedom fighter” and that the stamps were indeed issued to honour him.“All the Kashmiris fighting in the Indian occupied Kashmir including Burhan Wani are freedom fighters. The postal tickets released reflects the same thoughts,” said Chaudhary. The Kashmiris are facing Indian atrocities in the valley, Fawad said and added that the hearts of Pakistanis are beating the Kashmir. “Pakistan stands up for peace and India’s internal politics won’t affect us,” he said.He then went on to echo his PM’s line that India was being arrogant and Pakistan would unite against such attitude. “Pakistan knows how to give a befitting response,” he added.Last Friday India cancelled Foreign Minister level talks a day after announcing meet in New York on the grounds that 20 postage stamps have been issued by Pakistan glorifying Wani and that new Govt is yet to mend ways on cross border terror.External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj was to meet her Pakistani counterpart Shah Mahmood Qureshi on the margins of the United Nations General Assembly. This was decided after Khan had written a letter to PM Narendra Modi exploring the possibility of resuming the dialogue process.Besides the way Wani was being honoured, India was upset at spate of inhumane attacks on J&K cops as well as their families. Also, as J&K governor Satya Pal Malik told ET on Sunday that the mutilation of a BSF soldier weighed heavily on government as it violated basic tenets of the Geneva Convention. India had planned to raise terror issues including expediting the 26/11 trials, added sources.
