Pakistan has announced that it will not host next month’s Commonwealth Parliamentary Union meeting due to India’s constant pressure to allow Jammu and Kashmir Assembly Speaker for the event.
India had threatened to boycott the Commonwealth Parliamentary Conference to be held in Islamabad from 30th September to 8th of October following it’s refusal to invite Jammu and Kashmir Assembly Speaker for the event. The conference was to bring together speakers of Commonwealth nations in Islamabad.
National Assembly Speaker Ayaz Sadiq said that Islamabad has clarified to the London Secretariat of the Commonwealth that it was impossible for the Commonwealth Conference to be held in Pakistan.
