Bilawal admits Pakistan unable to get Kashmir attention at UN #IndiaNEWS #International
<br>We face a particularly uphill task to try and get Kashmir onto the centre of the agenda at the United Nations, he said on Friday at a news conference here.
New Delhi strongly object vociferously object and they perpetuate a post facto narrative to shut out Kashmir, he said.
Pakistan stands virtually alone at the UN, raising the Kashmir issue whenever it speaks, whether it is about the status of women or Russias invasion of Ukraine, without relevance to the topic.
Besides Pakistan, Turkey was the only other country in the 193-member to mention Kashmir at last years high-level General Assembly meeting, but it was a muted reference by President Recip Tayyip Erdogan who said without any criticism of India that it was unfortunate that the problem persisted after 75 years and expressed hope for permanent peace.
The last time Kashmir got any attention at the Security Council was in 2019 soon after Kashmirs special constitutional status was stripped away, and that was at a secret session convened at the behest of China and the members could not agree on any statement.
Reflecting the state of the attitude of Pakistan towards India, Bilawal stumbled in his attempts to refer to India, starting with our friends within then trying with our friend our our and then backtracking to settle on our neighbouring countries.
Verbatim, this is how his mangled acknowledgement of Indias diplomatic success in thwarting Pakistans efforts on Kashmir came out: Whenever the issue of Kashmir is brought up, our friends within, with our friend, our our our neighbouring countries, strongly object vociferously object and they perpetuate a post facto narrative.
They try to claim that this is not a dispute for the United Nations, that this is not a disputed territory recognised by the international community, and they insist, counter to the facts, counter to the reality, that their usurpation of the of Kashmir should be endorsed, he added.
About getting Islamabads version of truth about Kashmir accepted, he said, While we do find it difficult to get the truth across, we are persistent in our efforts.
India maintains that Kashmir and all disputes between the neighbours are bilateral matters under the 1972 Simla Agreement signed by Bilawals grandfather Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, who was then Pakistans president, and Indias Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
At every opportunity, be it at the UN Security Council, or at various events that I attend or address, or chair, I do make the effort not only to mention the hypocrisy when it comes to the plight of the people of Palestine, but also to focus on the difficulties faced by the people of Kashmir, he said.
Whenever it can, Pakistan tries to twin Kashmir with Palestine.
