Pakistan's latest decision comes more than a fortnight after India moved to revoke Article 370, and follows several attempts by Islamabad to raise the issue on a global stage.
Foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said he reiterated Pakistan's call to establish a UN fact-finding mission to visit Kashmir and assess the on-ground situation in his letter to UN.
The International Court of Justice has ordered an effective review and reconsideration of Kulbhushan Jadhav's death sentence by a Pakistan military court.
Pakistan's foreign minister addressed a press conference in Multan where he said that Islamabad had reliable intelligence that India is devising a new plan.
China's Wang Yi stated that irrespective of the international system, Beijing will always resolutely support the maintenance of Pakistan’s sovereignty.
Disenfranchisement by institutional fiat is profoundly undemocratic. The effect of the ECI's new documentary process in Bihar will tilt the scales in favour of the BJP.
Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
India-Russia JV is also racing to deliver 7,000 more AK-203 assault rifles by 15 Aug. These are currently being made with 50% indigenisation and this will surge to 100% by 31 December.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
It will be a lost cause if Pak goes to ICJ, as it can never hope to win its case. However, it is a decent way to accept the reality and move on. ICJ will take years to pronounce its verdict and for India it gives a good opportunity to present its case. It would instead be a good idea for Pak to annex PoK and let India shout about it. This way, it will gobble up what it has rather than hoping for entire J&K. India will make some noises and let it pass. Otherwise, one way of looking at it is that PoK along with Gilgit Baltistan people are technically indian citizen and India can ask ICJ to pronounce on the legality of it. That will make China uncomfortable as well. Anyway, focus is no more on Hurriyat and internal dimensions of the issue.
In other words, by going to ICJ, Pakistan runs the risk of getting fried in its own oil.
Well, Pakistan has a self-created constituency to address to, when it comes to Kashmir affairs. And they ought to demonstrate that they are doing enough about it. By taking this case to ICJ, clearly Pakistan can take this monkey off their shoulders for some time, and could bury the case once for all should ICJ decide it in India’s favour, without having fire a single bullet. In these days of austerity, after all cost of every bullet bites! For India, there can’t be better outcome than having to slug it out at ICJ. Possibly, this could be the most peaceful way to put an end to this 70-year old soap opera as India could argue on the basis jurisdictional or sovereignty issues. In a sense Pakistan appears to have accepted the hard truth!
What did these clowns achieve with the land, resources and population they got in 1947?! Your economy is sinking and you have to beg all the time. Still obsessed with Kashmir.

Perfectly stated.
