Pak will keep on internationalizing Kashmir issue in absence of bilateral

Syed Salahuddin, who heads the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen, issued a press-statement on September 4 accusing New Delhi of building a “great wall” on the Line of Control (LoC).

The Pakistani premier said he was personally spearheading the anti-polio campaign as against 306 polio cases last year, only 36 have been registered this year thus far.

Senior Pakistani journalist Wajahat Khan has said that Islamabad has been left with no option but to “internationalise” the issue of Kashmir in the absence and failure of a bilateral effort by India. He also invited German investment in Pakistan, particularly through use of German technology and technical expertise in developing Thar coal, one of the largest coal reserves in the world.

As Prime Ministers of the two respective countries were getting ready for the UN General Assembly session on Friday, there was a war of words between the governments of the two countries. Talking to media, External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Vikas Swaroop said, India is aware of both the letters written to UNSC.

According to reports, Lodhi, has written to the President of the UN Security Council, Russian Ambassador Vitaly Churkin where she has said that India is planning to build a wall along the Line of Control.

The main letter dated September 4 expresses that there was no dialogue. If there is action taken by the United Nations we will respond appropriately.

Sharif left for New York on Tuesday and is scheduled to address the General Assembly on September 30.

Pakistan has again cried out against India in the UN Security Council, alleging that India is constructing wall on the LoC.

“The State of Jammu & Kashmir is internationally recognised disputed territory with a number of United Nations Security Council resolutions on the official status of Jammu & Kashmir awaiting implementation”, Lodhi said.
