He informed that the issue had been raised with UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon during his recent visit to Islamabad and also with US Vice-President Joe Biden and at the World Economic Forum, he added.
He also sought to play down speculations of differences between his government and Kashmiri leaders on his side.
Responding to queries on the release of Islamabad’s tainted nuclear whiz Dr. AQ Khan, Gilani said the scientist had himself said he had not been freed under pressure from any quarter.
Dr. Khan, known as the father of the “Islamic Bomb,” belongs to Bhopal and is an alumnus of the Phool Mahal School in the Peer Gate area of the city.
