ISLAMABAD:
Pakistan on
Thursday
announced that it
will not host next
month's
Commonwealth
Parliamentary
Union meeting amid
a row with India
over its refusal to
invite the speaker
of Jammu &
Kashmir assembly
for the conference.
India had threatened to boycott the
Commonwealth Parliamentary
Conference to be held here from
September 30 to October 8 after
Islamabad refused to invite Jammu &
Kashmir assembly speaker Kavinder
Gupta for the event.

The conference was to bring together
speakers of Commonwealth nations in
Islamabad.
"We have clarified to the London
Secretariat of the Commonwealth that
Kashmir is a disputed territory and now
it is impossible for the Commonwealth
Conference to be held in Pakistan,"
National Assembly speaker Ayaz Sadiq
told reporters.
He said the event will now be held in
New York.

"A detailed letter will be written to the
CPA countries over the Kashmir
dispute and the Kashmir issue will be
raised on every forum of the
Commonwealth," Sadiq said.
He said the Kashmir issue could not be
overlooked at any cost and the
assembly speaker would not be
invited.

Pakistan broke protocol on Kashmir
speaker, Indian envoy says
"The decision to hold the event in
Pakistan was made on the basis that
the Kashmir assembly speaker would
not be invited to the Conference," he
said.
India had threatened to boycott the
meeting with Lok Sabha Speaker
Sumitra Mahajan saying, "A meeting of
Speakers of all states unanimously
decided that India will boycott the
meeting of the CPU if the Speaker of
the Jammu & Kashmir assembly is not
invited." source: http://www.timesofindia.com
