ISLAMABAD - United States Institute of Peace, A Think Tank predicts at war between Pakistan and India over Occupied Kashmir.
At a Washington think tank, the US Institute for Peace (USIP), a former US ambassador to Pakistan, Richard Olson, emphasised the need for the United States to play the role of a de facto crisis manager to de-escalate the tensions.
And a former Pakistani ambassador to the United States, Jalil Abbas Jilani, warned that if not defused, the tensions over Kashmir could lead to a war between India and Pakistan.
The two diplomats were sharing their views on the consequences of Kashmir’s annexation at two recent panel discussions at the USIP.
Both Mr Olson, who was the US ambassador in Pakistan from 2012 to 2015, and Mr Jilani, who served in Washington from 2013 to 2017, did not rule out the possibility of the Kashmir dispute triggering another India-Pakistan war.
