“Kashmir is the elephant in the room. No issue today is potentially as dangerous as Kashmir. If India’s appeasement continues, the atrocities in Kashmir do not end and a lasting solution of the dispute is not found, there is a risk that the regional and international order will be unhinged, and unleash an unspeakable horror”, he said.
The UN must get involved in Kashmir; and it must re-engage, the President said adding that a ‘hands off’ policy based on an artificial neutrality and bilateralisation of the issue is myopic and a blow to the mandate of the UN itself.
