Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi has called upon the international community to take notice of India's nefarious designs that pose a grave threat to regional peace and security.

In a statement, today, he said India has buried secularism and is constantly fanning Hindutva in the country.

The Foreign Minister said India not only took illegal step of annexation of the Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, but is also trying to change its demography through amendments in law.

He mentioned that introduction of the controversial Citizenship Amendment Act combined with National Register of Citizens is an attempt to target minorities, that also drew resistance by the local population.

Shah Mahmood Qureshi pointed out that India is involved in hatching conspiracies in Balochistan, besides meddling with other countries including Afghanistan and Nepal.

He condemned India's controversial construction in Laddakh that led to standoff with China.

He said China always exhibited restraint in the past and even today was also willing to resolve the issue through peace.

The Foreign Minister said China cannot remain oblivious to India's illegal constructions. He, however stressed that India's actions could threaten region’s peace.

Meanwhile, talking separately to PTV and a private news channel, the Foreign Minister warned that India's aggressive policy towards its neighbours is putting at stake the regional peace and security and the world community must take notice of it.

Shah Mahmood Qureshi said the Indian atrocities in occupied Jammu and Kashmir are before everybody and New Delhi is bent upon changing the demographic composition of the territory. 

He said India has also used the land of Afghanistan against Pakistan.
