Maleeha Lodhi urges UN to prevent bigger crisis in occupied Kashmir
[DAWN] Pakistain’s Ambassador to the United Nations
...an idea whose time has gone...
Maleeha Lodhi has called for action on part of the UN to deal with the crisis-like situation stemming from India's "illegal" annexation of Indian Kashmir
...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor.
