India regrets Pak raking up Kashmir issue at UN
Wednesday, May 14 2003 19:27 Hrs (IST)

New Delhi: India on May 14 regretted Pakistan raking up the Kashmir issue at the United Nations Security Council and said the important thing to note was that there was no support from any country on it.

"This is not surprising. Pakistan has utilised every opportunity to raise the J and K issue in every forum be it NAM (Non Aligned Movement), SAARC (South Asian Association for Regional Co-operation), UN or some other body," External Affairs Ministry spokesman told reporters.

He was asked about Pakistan Foreign Minister Khurshid Mohammad Kasuri stating in the Security Council that there can be no "durable solution" to Kashmir issue unless aspirations of the people of Jammu and Kashmir are taken into account.

India outrightly rejected Pakistan's contention that there should be UN supervised plebiscite in the state, holding that events have overtaken such an approach.

"The fact that it (J and K issue) was mentioned in Pakistan's statement in UNSC is something we could regret. But what is important to note is no member country except Pakistan raised this issue and there is no support for raising this," the spokesman said.
