Kashmir requires immediate intervention of UN, world powers: PM Imran
[DAWN] Prime Minister Imran Khan
...aka The Great Khan, who ain't the sharpest bulb on the national tree...
has asked Russia and other world powers to play their role to resolve the issue of 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. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there....
, saying he fears that the situation in the occupied territory could soon spiral out of control.

"Eight million people are currently under siege in Kashmir and there is no news coming out of there," the premier said while speaking to Paula Slier of Russia's Kremlin-backed international broadcaster RT in Islamabad.

"Some 4,000 people have been picked [by Indian forces] in Kashmir, with a curfew imposed there. We fear that an unprecedented oppression is taking place there," he said during the interview published on Friday.

Prime Minister Imran said that India annexed Indian Kashmire unilaterally. "This situation naturally cannot be accepted by the people of the valley."

It seems, he added, that the BJP [Bharatiya Janata Party]-led government has decided to use sheer force to subdue and oppress the people of Kashmir and intimidate them to accept the former’s illegal move.

To a question, the premier said he doesn’t think that the world has reacted as it should have. "The response of the international community is not what we expected," he maintained.

"The UN has the responsibility to act now," he said. "The US, La Belle France, Germany, Russia and other countries should step forward to play their role."

India, he added, has been taken over by a "fascist
...anybody you disagree with, damn them...
, racist government" and by the turban ideology of the hardline organization RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh).

#1 The response of the international community is not what we expected

Raise in sanity and/or decline in Saudi bribes?

#2 A little bit of both. There's no economic advantage of playing friend to a state like Pakistain. The total feasibility of protesting against a trade partner like India for mere islamic goodwill is realized now to be zero. Also, no one dares fuck with a nuclear armed State who generally minds her own business, occasionally doling out the odd $billion to those in need, does business with everyone from the US to Iran to Russia with nary a hitch. Everyone knows we're lovers, not fighters.☺
