Islamabad [Pakistan], Nov. 23 : Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's adviser on Foreign Affairs, Sartaj Aziz informed the Senate on Tuesday that a high-level committee consisting of senior officials from the ministries of defence, interior and information, the military operations directorate, Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and Intelligence Bureau (IB), has been formed to formulate "a doable and sustainable India-Kashmir policy." Aziz said that Foreign Secretary Aizaz Chaudhry is heading the committee and could co-opt other members if required.
He said that the committee would regularly brief the two committees which Senate had originally recommended including chairpersons of the defence and foreign affairs committees.
The Dawn quoted Aziz as saying that a committee, chaired by the information secretary, and representatives from the ministries of defence, foreign affairs and information technology, as well as members of the Military Operations Direc-torate, ISI and IB had been formed to prepare fact sheets, counter India's propaganda campaign and design a media strategy to continuously highlight the Kashmiri freedom struggle.
Ministry of Information Technology had been asked by Aziz to prepare a comprehensive strategy to highlight the Jammu and Kashmir issue by means of social media.
"This dossier has been shared with other key countries and international organisations. Another dossier on the activities of Kulbhushan Jadhav will also be finalised in the near future," Aziz said while referring to the dossier on India's interference in Pakistan, presented to the UN secretary general by the prime minister in September.
Asserting that Pakistan was supportive of all initiatives for peace and stability in the region, he said that this commitment to regional peace and stability was evident from the decision to participate in the Heart of Asia ministerial conference in Amritsar, despite the postponement of SAARC summit in Islamabad because of India.
