"Today Kashmir has been internationalized. The UN Security Council held a meeting on Kashmir issue for the first time in 50 years. The EU, for the first time, said that the Kashmir issue should be resolved as per UN resolutions. The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation also said that India should lift curfew in Kashmir. "More than 40 MPs in Britain raised the Kashmir issue. I am happy that US senators wrote a letter to President Donald Trump and urged him to intervene in the matter.
