He also hailed the 2003-04 India-Pakistan cricket series for propagating the message of friendship. He said that the desire to end the year-long conflict was evident among people during that series.
Earlier on Thursday, addressing the nation, Imran Khan said; "Kashmir remains our biggest contention. It is unfortunate that Kashmir, which is the core issue between the two countries has suffered immense human rights violations at the hands of the Indian Army in the last 30 years. The leadership of Pakistan and India now need to come to the table to resolve this and end the blame games. We are stuck at square one".
