ISLAMABAD - Ms Jackson Lee, who co-chairs the Pakistan caucus in the US Congress but also has good relations with the Indian American community, presented a 5-step formula to the governments of the United States, India, Pakistan and to communities in Kashmir to defuse tensions in the region.
“Both nations are equal in power and dignity throughout the world and therefore a bilateral between the United States and the leadership of India and another bilateral between the leadership of Pakistan is imperative and must take place,” she said in a statement released by her office.
She said she has already sent letters to both the US president and secretary of state on this point and will soon be discussing this with representatives of India and Pakistan.
Residents continue to suffer immensely as the Kashmir valley continues to remain under strict curfew and military lockdown for the 46th consecutive day, link Thursday in Indian Occupied Kashmir (IoK).
The heavy deployment of Indian troops has created an atmosphere of fear, forcing the people to remain indoors. The continued blockade of the valley has aggravated the situation to an alarming proportion. The residents confined to their homes are facing difficulties in meeting their daily needs.
