Even before Indian minister for foreign affairs air-dashed to China, India’s jaundiced news channels and print media blared that Chinese foreign minister has, in a tweet, called up Pakistan to multilateralise the Kashmir issue, ‘India’s internal matter’. The media claims the USA and Russia have already shunned Pakistan.
Pak media however say China supports even recourse to the Security Council. India’s draconian scrapping of Article 370 and converting disputed Ladakh into an Indian-Union territory impinges even China.
Bilateralism did not help solve the Kashmir tangle for 70 years. Why not approach UN instead of fighting another war on Kashmir? Is the UN not a forum for peaceful resolution of disputes?
