| (KUNA) -- India on Monday welcomed the deletion of the Kashmire issue from the list of unresolved international disputes. The development has come as a setback to Pakistain which has been asking the world body to intervene on the issue, reported the Press Trust of India (PTI). Kashmire has been a long standing issue between India and Pakistain, and the latter leaves no chance to internationalise it at every world fora, asking various international agencies to intervene in resolving it. The country's Junior Minister of External Affairs Preneet Kaur said: "It has been reported that UN has dropped Kashmire from the list of unresolved disputed. I think, if this step has been taken, I welcome it. We have always firmly maintained that Jammu and Kashmire is an integral part of India. This is a very welcome step and we hope that in same way the UN addresses our bilateral issues." Following the development Pakistain has lodged a protest against the omission of Kashmire from a list of disputes under the observation of the UN Security Council, added the PTI report. |
