*ISLAMABAD - **In a diplomatic success for Pakistan, India gets a big snub from United States Congress over Occupied Kashmir conflict.*
*The US Congress members have made a move to raise the Occupied Kashmir issue at the United Nations to defuse tensions between India and Pakistan over Occupied Kashmir.*
*US Congress reached out to US Ambassador to the United Nations Kelly Craft regarding the situation in Kashmir.*
The 35 members of the US Congress wrote a letter to Craft on Monday urging her to diffuse tensions between India and Pakistan amid the recent activity in Indian-Administered Kashmir.
“We write out of concern with the recent activity in the Kashmir region, amid increasing tension between the nations of India and Pakistan — both of whom have nuclear capabilities,” the letter states.
Referring to the Indian’s actions in Kashmir, the letter reads, “In late July and early August, India moved 45,000 troops into the Kashmir region and residents’ freedom of movement and communication were suspended in the area.”
“We encourage you to use the full weight of the US mission to the UN to encourage India and Pakistan to bilaterally mitigate tensions,” the members wrote.
