Pakistan no longer enjoys international support when it comes to Kashmir, a former Pakistani envoy to the United States said on Friday, Press Trust of India reported.

“Kashmir is an emotive issue in Pakistan because of the failure of its leaders to inform their people that Pakistan no longer enjoys international support on the matter,” said Husain Haqqani, former Pakistani ambassador to the US.

According to Haqqani, who is currently the director of South and Central Asia at the Hudson Institute, India refuses to discuss the Kashmir issue without the end of Pakistan-sponsored terror.

Whereas, he said, Pakistan for years has been trapped on its stance on the Kashmir issue, thus overlooking other crucial matters. “Pakistan has sought international support countless times for its position that Kashmir’s future must be resolved through dialogue with India.”

“Instead of accepting that it might be better for India and Pakistan to normalise relations by expanding trade and cross-border travel, Pakistani hardliners have stuck to a ‘Kashmir first’ mantra, which they know is unrealistic,” Haqqani reiterated.

Further, he expressed his belief that remaining adamant on Kashmir is futile and will only get Pakistan support from its military.

  1. Ambassador Haqqani has described his current activities very precisely.But the problem is that the perception of the Brain Washed general Public cannot discern between acadamic conversation and "Lobbying"Pakistani Establishment is aware that "Doomsday"is coming and that also very very fast and hence this Nervous outburst against all who criticise Pakistan for its VIOLENCE and UNSTABILITY..even POTUS Obama was not spared.

  2. Pakistan has to cleared of the very PROBLEM..namely..the Establishment has to be dismanteled and defanged …only then people of Pakistan shall enjoy real Peace and Freedom….mark my words…
