Indian aggressive policy towards neighbors threatening regional peace, security: Qureshi.

ISLAMABAD -- Minister for Foreign Affairs, Shah Mahmood Qureshi, Wednesday while rubbishing Indian propaganda said Pakistan had nothing to do with China-India standoff but the Indian aggressive policy towards its neighbours was threatening the regional peace and security.

Talking to different television channels, the foreign minister said China had never reacted aggressively rather offered India to hold dialogue to settle the Ladakh issue, but by increasing tension, India wanted to distract world's attention from its state terrorism in occupied Kashmir.

Tensions between both China and India reached high when Beijing captured a group of Indian army personnel that violated the Line of Control in Sikkim and Ladakh. China says India is constructing illegal defense-related structures near the Galwan Valley and reportedly, the Chinese army captured a group of Indian army personnel but later

released them.

The foreign minister said India was rising tensions in the region by carrying out construction activities in territory that was considered disputed between India 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 added.

Qureshi urged the Indian government to exhibit responsible behaviour by making use of the mechanisms of dialogue and consultations to resolve the disputes.
