Why is the United Nations meeting on Kashmir issue?

Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi has written a letter to the UN Security Council objecting to the removal of Article 370 from Kashmir in India.

The Security Council is going to have an informal meeting in a closed room on Friday on this issue. This meeting is such that neither any record will be kept nor any statement given in it will be recorded.

This will be a meeting in which neither Pakistan will be represented nor will there be any representation from India.

But the most important question is that what will India know about what will be said in a closed-door meeting? So India depends on its friendly countries for this.

Ever since India removed Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir, many friendly countries have called it an internal issue of India. So India is also dependent on these countries for the meeting on the UN Security Council.

India's friendly countries will come out and tell them about this meeting.

We all know that Pakistan and China have a very old and close relationship. China has helped Pakistan in defense, nuclear and missile sector. Now China is helping him financially by investing in Pakistan.

It is understandable that China would have helped in convening a meeting on the Kashmir issue for Pakistan in the UN Security Council. Similarly, Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi had just gone to China, he would have also sought help for this meeting.

Apart from this, India's Foreign Minister S.K. Jaishankar also visited China a week ago.

India says that removal of Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir is an internal matter. In India, the law has been passed by Parliament to remove Article 370 and Section 35-A. If anyone has any problem with it, then it will hear the Supreme Court of India.

Pakistan wants to show the world that human rights violations are happening in India's Kashmir. Pakistan has accused human rights violations on the basis of a number of arguments, including a legitimate argument that the communication tools were blocked.

Since the rise of extremism in Kashmir in the nineties, Pakistan has sought to internationalize the issue. It has said many times that it is not a bilateral but a multilateral issue.

The United Nations General Assembly is due soon. In this, any representative of Pakistan will definitely raise the issue of Kashmir.

But it is too early to predict what Pakistan will say in the General Assembly.
