To his chinese counterpart earlier all in all the indian our officials are pretty happy because at the end of the day there was no official statement there was a meeting that rather that meeting did not take place bought because there was no statement and they believe that the influential members of the United NationsSecurity Council stood by india theyre pretty satisfied as well right and im told the whole issue of of the human rights of the people of india of mrs administered kashmir is one of the key issues india had promised Prime Minister movie in fact it promised to be to gradually lift the restrictions on the region and its people whats happened. Well what weve seen is restrictions have sort of these in a vehicle civil lines in srinagar in india administered. This is the area where the whos who live in downtown which is where weve traditionally seen protests. Weve learned that perceptions have not yet been easy how ever will the chief secretary of. Again in India Institution has said that the restrictions will be eased from 2 more onward to tomorrow land lines opening according to the chief secretary however again not a phone connection or internet and on monday schools would open government offices have sort of functioning the chief secretary said that this is promises we still need to keep an eye out on how and what these these restrictions are going to be easy as that happened we also saw hundreds of. Gather to protest against the indian decision after friday prayers and later in the evening we saw that to the Police Officials had arrested 2 members one has been placed under house arrest and one has been detained and these politicians are from the Congress Party which is the leading Opposition Party in the country so. India administered kashmir that these 2 leaders were placed one on the house arrest and one under detention which the Congress Party has called a number of people to democracy and said that the these arrests act to the widespread arrest of the government has already made in this in this area and that sort of shows there that they though dont have respect for democracy or do not bore the about civil liberties. In new delhi thank you very much. That the u. N. Security council has tried to resolve the kashmir issue for decades have been multiple resolutions the most important one requires a plebiscite to be held to determine the populations a legion so either india or pakistan but that was supposed to happen on the condition that pakistan who supported feiss in kashmir would withdraw india was also required to reduce troops to a minimum level and new delhi was asked to ensure all major parties in the kashmir region were involved in Government Affairs but in the 1950 s. India distanced itself from holding the vote because it said Pakistani Forces never left and kashmir has remained it is easy territory ever since right now we can speak to saturn and do me is a resident fellow at the American Enterprise institute is joining us from washington d. C. Thanks very much indeed for talking to us. How significant is it the fact that the u. N. Security council has had before it for the 1st time in almost half a century the very issues of disputed kashmir and furthermore the fact that they couldnt even seem to agree on issuing a statement urging restraint on both sides. You know i mean let me start by saying that there is tremendous domestic pressure of course in both india and pakistan to come out of this being seen as victors i would say that from a pakistani perspective its probably significant that the u. N. Did mention it as you said this is not something that has come up before the u. N. Security council in any way shape or form for many decades so the fact that it was mentioned at all sort of if nothing else counts a minor p. R. Will win for pakistan but if you look at it substantively i would have to say the indians would be quite pleased to 1st of all the fact that this was just a consultation it wasnt a more sort of serious sort of meeting and then secondly the fact that the pakistanis seem to have only got the support of china and obviously china is a very significant country but there doesnt seem to be any appetite whether its from the us or russia or france or any of the other major powers to really get into this dispute at this time well and so far as sort of a certain segment of internationalization of this is concerned so youre going to respect my point are i say that this seems to be quite pleased with this in new delhi right just saying that the major powers dont seem to want to get involved with the chinese are the ones who pushed for these consultations to be held and furthermore the chinese laid on the table as as after the meeting exactly what their interests is is in the kashmir region because of course they control and know them part of the territory. But thats my whole point theres only one power the chinese are the chinese significant of course they are the 2nd most powerful country in the world but if you look at the bulk of the sentiment if you look at what were hearing from other global capitals there doesnt seem to be an architect but this would be a much more serious situation if it were if the chinese were joined by other major countries we have not seen that sudden and what about the news the iran has had a telephone conversation with donald trump it was remember when when was making his visit to washington the the 1st mention of donald trump offering his his services as a mediator came up some suggest that might have been what precipitated this whole crisis however the fact that hes had another conversation with donald trump and remember that there are only going talks about afghanistan in which pakistan plays a significant role doesnt that give him rank and leverage perhaps to bring in the great power of the United States. Its certainly possible we have not seen any evidence of that since trumps gaffe in the white house when iran one was visiting last month so far the statements weve seen from that from washington seem sort of stick to the traditional u. S. Position which is that kashmir is something that india and pakistan should resolve bilaterally now of course privately im sure that there would be sort of all kinds of diplomatic work going on between the u. S. And both india and pakistan but the official u. S. Position has not changed the president of course is quite unpredictable you never know what he might say but as of now i dont see any change in the u. S. Position and i dont see any likelihood off the u. S. Wanting to jeopardize its relationship with india over this matter right well im just bring you the latest line were hearing that that telephone conversation between a man can and donald trump apparently President Trump told the pakistan Prime Minister that it was important to india and pakistan reduce tensions and and that the medium for doing this is through true dialogue i mean that sounds very much as a President Trump if indeed this is to be believed is taking the indian position. Well its not just the indian position but thats been the u. S. Position for at least 20 years you know since the kargil conflict the u. S. Of course like to see this resolved as would many other countries but the u. S. Does not feel that theyre getting involved or theyre playing a mediating role are is going to sort of lead to that resolution but its certainly something that would give the indians much more sure than the pakistanis and i think that for pakistan the sort of you know the issue really is that theres very it has a very weak diplomatic hand if you look around the islamic world to the saudis havent supported them the u. A. E. Has supported india a lot of that has to do with the economic disparities between the country but the pakistanis can take sort of from 2 issues one is the fact that any it was discussed at all and secondly that this has got a lot of global attention you know the fact is that we are discussing this at length on your channel and ive been on many many other channels over the last week so its certainly true that the kashmir issue has been internationalized in that sense in the media sense but in terms of pakistans diplomatic effort at least at this stage you know 10 days after indias move that does not seem to have paid very many dividends satin and do him a really good churchy thank you very much indeed.
