NEW DELHI: Pakistan is up to its old games again. Within a fortnight of taking charge as the Prime Minister, Shehbaz Sharif has played the Kashmir card again. This time criticising PM Modi for visiting the Valley.
"Indian PM’s staged visit to Kashmir and laying foundation stones of hydroelectric projects, in contravention of Indus Water Treaty, is another desperate attempt to project false normalcy. We stand with Kashmiris as they rejected their visit and observed Black Day," Shehbaz Sharif tweeted.
PM Modi was in Kashmir on Sunday and laid the foundation stone for projects worth Rs 20,000 crore.
It has also been learnt that Shehbaz Sharif and President Vladimir Putin have exchanged letters in the recent past, talking of collaborations and bilateral trade.
India has not yet reacted to Shehbaz Sharif’s statement.
