Islamabad: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chief Imran Khan has said that by using military in Kashmir, India is “losing the battle of heart and minds”.
“India is using troops in Kashmir. They are losing the battle of heart and minds. It’s like treating cancer with dispirin,” Imran said in an interview with an India daily, Mail Today.
The cricketer turned politician said the Kashmir issue cannot be resolved militarily.
“I will work on a road map by making people from India, Pakistan and Kashmiris look for a solution by sitting on a table.”
Imran is currently present in India to attend the World Economic Forum in Gurgaon.
Of terrorism in Pakistan, the PTI chief said that terror leaders can be “transformed.”
He said he will “declare jihad to save Pakistan” and “will disarm all militants group operating in the country”.
“I am sure they can be put into nation building, human beings can change. I will make them realise that militancy is not a solution.”
He said if he becomes the prime minister of Pakistan, he will bring the culprits behind Mumbai attacks to justice.
“India must understand the legal process takes time, but I will bring the Mumbai perpetrators to justice. We have to follow the rule of law,” he said.
Imran said he was confident of winning the upcoming elections: “I have created the only democratic party in Pakistan. We are now preparing for a democratic tsunami.”
Speaking about Pakistan’s relationship with India, he said he was “in favour of a new relationship.”
“All these years we have had a relationship which was detrimental to the entire subcontinent. We moved one step forward, two steps backward. Mumbai came, (and) we were back to square one.”
