Pakistan rejected the Indian Ministry of External Affairs attempts to twist the remarks made by Minister of State for Health Dr. Zafar Mirza at the COVID-19 video conference of the SAARC member countries on March 15, 2020. The Indian contention of “politicisation” of humanitarian issue is both misleading and mischievous. The MoS for Health had drawn attention to the health emergency in IOJ&K in the context of coronavirus and underscored the need for lifting of restrictions on communications and ensuring access to medical supplies. In making this call, Pakistan has not been alone. Indeed, numerous voices from within IOJ&K, India, and the world are echoing the same message. The people of South Asia are well aware as to which country has been seeking to “politicise” the SAARC process and continues to obstruct its onward march. Pakistan believes that the collective endeavours of South Asian nations to fight common challenges should not be allowed to become victim of self-serving propaganda. As an illustration of Pakistan’s commitment, we have reaffirmed our readiness to host the SAARC Health Ministers’ Conference at the appropriate time.
