Pak. to take up fencing issue

By B. Muralidhar Reddy

ISLAMABAD, APRIL 5. The Pakistan Foreign Office is expected to take up the issue of border fencing by India as it believes that it is in contravention to the United Nations Security Council resolutions.

The ISRP chief, Maj. Gen. Rashid Quereshi, said here today that with the United Nations and the international community having recognised Kashmir as a disputed border, India had no right to erect a fence along with it. ``Does that mean India is prepared to remove the fencing along the disputed border, once the issue is resolved. We have already registered our protest against the decision and I am sure Pakistan Foreign Office would formally take it up with the Indian Government''.
