Unfortunately Pakistan has once again raked and raised the so called issue of Kashmir in the United Nations Security Council. It has been done by the Pakistan representative unashamedly as that country is not and losing any opportunity to rake the issue of Kashmir in the United Nations. But as usual the Indian response was upright and the Indian representative has said that Pakistan hosts various militant organizations and provides them shelter and these terrorist organizations are proscribed by the United Nations. Pakistan is doing the notorious job of throwing the dust in the eyes of the security council of the United Nations. The Pakistan is raking the issue of Kashmir just to divert the attention of the international community and the United Nations from the home problems of that country. The track record of the Pakistan so for as the state policy of Pakistan is concerned is very bad as in that country united nations proscribed terrorists are being given a free hand by the Pakistani state. Counselor in India’s Mission to united nations Kajal Bhat has said that this is not the first time that Pakistan has raised the issue of Kashmir in the united nations security council but that country is always raking the non issue of Kashmir in this world forum. Pakistan has in fact misused the platform provided by the United Nations to propagate false and malicious propaganda against India and is seeking to divert the attention of the international community from the sad state of affairs in Pakistan where terrorists enjoy a free hand and the minorities are made to suffer. The worst kind of the human rights violations are being committed against the religious minorities in Pakistan but that country is diverting the attention of the United Nations from its domestic conditions. Pakistan in fact is a failed state and hence is raking the issue of Kashmir in the United States but there are no takers of its view. Indian representative in the United States has slammed Pakistan and has remarked that the Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh including the Pak occupied Kashmir is the integral part of India. It is the consistent policy of India that the whole of Jammu and Kashmir including the Pak occupied Kashmir is the inalienable part of India. Thus Pakistan should vacate its occupation of the Indian land. Moreover Pakistan should stop to train, harbor and push terrorists to Jammu and Kashmir. Indian representative Kajal Bhat has said in United Nations that India desires to have good relations with all the neighbors including Pakistan. She has further remarked that Pakistan should stop to aid, train, and fund and export the terrorists to India if she wants to have meaningful dialogue with India. Thus the only condition for the resumption of the dialogue with Pakistan is that the neighboring country should stop to use its soil for the terrorist activities. India has maintained in the United Nations Security Council that the outstanding issue if any will be sorted out as per the Shimla agreement and Lahore Declaration bilaterally. The Indian has further stated that there is no role for the third party intervention on Kashmir and the issue if any can be resolved mutually by the two countries without any third party intervention. Thus for the resolution of the Kashmir issue stoppage of the terrorism and the export of the same and the vacation of the illegally occupied land of Jammu and Kashmir is the very base of holding the dialogue between the two states. However the fact of the matter is that the united nations security council resolutions on Kashmir are redundant and obsolete and are thus impractical given the fact that Pakistan has failed to vacate the illegal occupation of the part of the Jammu and Kashmir which is the base of fulfilling the security council resolution on Kashmir. Thus the Security Council resolutions on plebiscite, is obsolete and impractical and are very old and thus redundant. The united nations security council resolutions are thus irrelevant and does not hold any ground after seventy five years from 1948 and therefore the two nations cannot bank on these redundant resolutions. Thus plebiscite is out of question and is irrelevant in the present context as much water has flown down the rivers of Jhelum and Chenab and thus the resolutions have become redundant and obsolete and as such cannot be the bases of solving the issue of Kashmir. India has maintained that if anything is to be discussed between India and Pakistan it is the issue of the territory of India which is illegally occupied by the Pakistan and thus Pakistan should vacate its illegal occupation of the territory of India for any meaningful dialogue. Therefore the security council resolutions are redundant as per the general secretary of the security council in the past has maintained that the resolutions of 1948 do not hold water after the big gap of 75 years. Thus the holding of the plebiscite is impractical as it has become redundant and obsolete and therefore the parties to the dispute should shun their rigid stands and talk in an atmosphere of peace and friendship to solve the festering issue of Kashmir. The practical solution to the Kashmir crisis is that the line of control should be made the international boarder as neither India nor Pakistan will seceded an inch of the land under their occupation to the other. Therefore the only realistic solution to the problem of Kashmir is that the line of actual control be made a permanent international boarder. This solution has also been advocated by the former chief minister and the chief of the national conference party Dr.Farooq Abdullah in the past and he is firm on this view. Therefore the best course for the two countries is that they should recognize the line of actual control as the international boarder and show some flexibility and be pragmatic and practical as the united nations resolutions have become obsolete and thus only way to resolve the ticklish issue of Kashmir is the conversion of the line of control in the international boarder. The Indian parliamentary resolution for the vacation of the illegal territory of India by Pakistan is there but the government of India should think in a pragmatic and practical way and pave way for the resolution of the Kashmir problem. Pakistan should also be practical and not harp on the redundant resolution of the plebiscite and instead show some flexibility and show magnanimity and enter into a meaningful dialogue to resolve the issue of Kashmir to the satisfaction of all the stakeholders. Therefore both the neighboring countries should bend from their stated positions so that the ticklish problem of Kashmir is solved to the satisfaction of the parties concerned. At the same time it should be appreciated that there is no role for the third party intervention in Kashmir but the two countries should find the solution of the Kashmir problem bilaterally in accordance with the Shimla agreement and the Lahore declaration to the satisfaction of both the parties. Therefore Pakistan should stop funding, training and exporting the terrorism to Jammu and Kashmir and enter into a meaningful dialogue for the resolution of the Kashmir problem as the two countries have suffered a lot due to the festering wound of Kashmir and now they should stop their enmity and enter into a meaningful dialogue to resolve the Kashmir issue for all times to come. Since the Security Council resolutions have become redundant and obsolete thus the Pakistan should not harp on these superfluous resolutions about the so called plebiscite but enter into a dialogue to settle the Kashmir issue to the satisfaction of the parties concerned.
