Pakistan is working hard to turn up diplomatic pressure on India to move towards resolving the Kashmir dispute based on United Nations Security Council resolutions that call for an internationally-supervised plebiscite for Kashmiris to decide their future, Ambassador Maleeha Lodhi has said.
"To that end, we have raised and continue to raise this decades-old dispute at all forms of the United Nations," she told a largely-attended meeting held at Pakistan House to mark the anniversary of India's massive invasion and occupation of Kashmir on 27 October 1947, known as "Black Day." She said Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif set the pace when he addressed the UN General Assembly's high-level session in September and made a clarion call for the grant of UN-pledged right of self-determination to the people of Kashmir and an end to the atrocities let loose by Indian security forces in occupied Kashmir.
