Srinagar
Once again the Pakistan’s delegate has raised the Kashmir dispute in the 39th session of the UN Committee on Information. The Press Minister at Pakistani Mission to the UN, Masood Anwar, has urged the UN’s Department of Public Information (DPI) to highlight Kashmir dispute the way it was doing with coverage of the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.
As per the Pakistan based media, the Pakistani delegate has said, “We would urge you to do the same for the people of Kashmir who continue to suffer under foreign occupation.”
But soon Indian delegation tried to interrupt him and asked the committee chairman’s permission to speak on a point of order, claiming that Kashmir was a bilateral issue and irrelevant to the discussion underway.
Pertinently, the Committee on Information, overseas the work of the Department of Public Information.
