Sir,
Refer news item, No brokering on Kashmir, ‘US.’ There is no need to meddle into the Indo-Pak affairs as far Kashmir is concerned. Time and again, India has made it to clear to foreign countries to keep off Kashmir issue, as it is an internal matter of the country.
If any problem exists between India and Pakistan over the issue, the two countries can solve it between them. There is no scope for the third party to get entangled into it. It requires political will and honesty to get the issue resolved.
India has taken some Confidence Building Measures (CBMs) with Pakistan to normalise relations. But because of hawkish policy adopted by some anti-India elements, the Government of Pakistan finds itself handicapped to reciprocate the goodwill gesture. Besides, it is in the interest of both the countries to resolve any issue between them bilaterally. The third party mediation has only complicated problems rather them solving them.
There would have been no Kashmir issue today, had India not taken it to the UN at that time.
Yours etc…..
