Pakistan continued to act with restraint and responsibility, the Foreign Minister said.
Due to weak health systems and meagre resources, millions in the developing world have suffered enormously and mostly in silence, he added.
Joining the angry Saudis, Pakistanis also condemned the Foreign Minister's sitting position, calling the act "against diplomatic norms".
"His remarks cannot be in any way be misconstrued as advocacy for a particular side in the Afghan conflict", Pakistan's Foreign Ministry clarified over Shah Mehmood Qureshi's statement.
He commented, “I remember Shah Mahmood Qureshi was in the meeting which Imran Khan had refused to attend and Chief of Army Staff General Bajwa came into the room, his legs were shaking, and he was perspiring. Foreign Minister said for God’s sake let Abhinandan go, India’s about to attack Pakistan at 9 PM.”
In the letter addressed to the President of UN Security Council, Pakistan foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi has highlighted the ongoing tense situation in the Kashmir Valley and the 'violations of human rights committed by the Indian forces'.
On Wednesday, Qureshi held a meeting with Zalmay Khalilzad, the US special representative for Afghanistan reconciliation at the foreign office in Islamabad.

The US-Taliban deal will lay the ground for a crucial intra-Afghan dialogue focusing on the future of Afghanistan and a permanent ceasefire.
