| UN rebuffs Pakistan, pitches for resolution of issue bilaterally | | Jammu, Kashmir, Ladakh | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Aug 9: The United Nations (UN) Secretary General Antonio Guterres has called for "maximum restraint" by all sides on the issue of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh while invoking the Shimla Agreement of 1972 for the peaceful resolution of the matter in accordance with the UN Charter.
Report say "reference to the Shimla agreement is a rebuff in a way to Pakistan's attempts to seek UN intervention on the matter as the 1972 pact provides the framework for resolving the dispute bilaterally".
"The Secretary-General has been following the situation in Jammu and Kashmir with concern and makes an appeal for maximum restraint," a spokesperson for Gutteres has said in a statement.
The spokesperson has added that "the position of the United Nations on this region is governed by the world body's Charter and applicable Security Council resolutions".
The Secretary-General also recalled the 1972 Agreement on bilateral relations between India and Pakistan, also known as the Shimla Agreement, which states that the final status of Jammu and Kashmir is to be settled by peaceful means, in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations.
The stand taken by the UN Secretary General is a diplomatic victory of the Narendra Modi Government and humiliating defeat of Pakistan and its Kashmir-based agents like Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, Farooq Abdullah, Omar Abdullah, Mehbooba Mufti and others of their ilk. In the meantime, the Ministry of External Affairs has also called the Pakistani bluff and defended the bifurcation of Jammu & Kashmir state into two Union Territories and abrogation of Articles 370 and 35A. |
