ISLAMABAD - Pakistan's Ambassador to the United Nations, Dr Maleeha Lodhi spent a busy day on Tuesday briefing the Security Council president, diplomats and UN officials on the grave situation in Indian-occupied Kashmir following India's move to abolish Article 370 of its constitution.
The Pakistani envoy went through a tightly laid-out schedule to apprise as many of her counterparts as possible of the breach by India of UN Security Council resolutions on Kashmir, with the revocation of the territory's special status that has spawned a regional crisis.
Lodhi met President of the UN Security Council Joanna Wronecka where she emphasised that the Indian action was "an egregious assault on the dignity of the Kashmiris."
She called on the Security Council to demand that India halt and reverse its unlawful and destabilising actions; ensure full compliance with UN Security Council resolutions; and refrain from any steps that interfere with the settlement of the decades-old Kashmir dispute.
"The tragedy of Kashmir has thus come full circle," the Pakistani envoy told UNSC President, sources said.
