United Nations sources have reported that Pakistan has once again raked up the Kashmir issue at the Security Council by trying to link it to the Palestinian crisis. Pakistan's Permanent Representative Maleeha Lodhi told the Council that "Longstanding, internationally recognized disputes of Palestine and Jammu and Kashmir continue to fester".
Meanwhile after having failed so far to get any international interest in Islamabad's version of the Kashmir dispute, she brought in the Kashmir reference while speaking of "efforts to change the status of Jerusalem" because of US President Donald Trump's decision to recognize it as Israel's capital and move Washington's embassy there.
Further External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj's speech at the General
Assembly backfired when Lodhi held up picture of an injured Palestinian girl
claiming she was a Kashmiri.
