Pakistan rejects request to let Modi use its airspace


Islamabad, Oct 27 (IANS): Pakistan has rejected a request by India to let Prime Minister Narendra Modi use its airspace, the Foreign Ministry said in a statement here on Sunday.

According to the statement, Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said the decision had been taken to show solidarity on the black day being marked by Pakistan, and in light of the recent human rights violations by the Indian forces in occupied Kashmir.

Islamabad would inform the Indian High Commissioner of the decision through a written statement, he added.

Earlier in September, Pakistan refused to let Modi use its airspace for his travel to the USA. Pakistan also didn't allow the Indian President use its airspace for travel to Iceland, media reports stated.

    When we know the Pakis don't allow their airspace to fly Indian planes, why our shameless politicians beg them for permission just to be denied? Do these politicians have any self-respect? When thousands of passengers fly without using pak airspace, why can't these ministers spend about one hour extra in their travel?
    Look, who is talking about human rights? Before giving lecture to India, Pak should stop violating human rights against minorities including Shias. The minority girls are kidnapped, raped and forcibly converted. Many are victimized and convicted under blasphemy law. Those who live in glasshouses don't throw stones at others.
