Pakistan on Friday asked the world community to play its role in resolving the dragging Kashmir dispute as India’s insistence on settling the issue through bilateral talks has not produced results.
India has always insisted on solving this issue through bilateral talks, but so far these efforts have failed to produce any result, Advisor to the Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz claimed. “If we accept the Indian claim at the UN and other international forums that the Kashmir problem is no more an issue, then why are there thousands of soldiers deployed along the loCIJ” he said while making a statement on foreign policy in the National Assembly or lower House of Parliament.
“India says Kashmir can be solved bilaterally even after 23 resolutions passed by the UN. But the question is whether the lingering issue can be solved keeping in view the outcome of talks over the last 14 years since 1999.” Aziz added, “Is it not the responsibility of the international community to help solve this issue due to which even a small incident can cause violence between the two nuclear armed countriesIJ”
