Kashmiris left in the cold

While responding to Prime Minister Mian Nawaz Sharif’s statement about third party intervention in Kashmir, Indian Foreign Minister said that Kashmir is an integral part of India and India will not accept any third party to intervene in this dispute. India should know that India had gone to United Nation in 1948 of its own accord. This led to the resolution of the UNSC resolutions of 1948 granting to Kashmiris their inalienable right assert the right of self-determination through a plebiscite.
On the other hand, India is trying to get a permanent seat in UN and on the other it is not even ready to accept any move by UN on Kashmir issue. India has blood of thousands of innocent Kashmiris on its hands. It is high time the conflict was settled.
