ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan on Friday expressed disappointment at India’s “negative” response to Pakistan’s peace overtures, saying one-sided efforts to normalise ties between the two neighbouring countries will not yield results.
Interacting with Indian journalists in the federal capital, the premier said India needs to respond to Pakistan’s gestures for peace in order to move ahead to address the longstanding disputes souring bilateral ties.
He reiterated that both the countries should break free from the shackles of the past, saying: “We cannot move forward if we continue to live in the past instead of leaving it behind and learning from it.”
“Our conflicts are impediment to development of the region,” said the premier while responding to a question put to him by a journalist.
“There is no people-to-people animosity, but the governments in both countries have issues,” he said and added Pakistan is making efforts to improve ties but unfortunately India is not reciprocating its peace gestures.
