Pak seeks US intervention in resolving Kashmir issue

Islamabad: Days ahead of his meeting with President Barack Obama, Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif today sought US intervention in resolving the Kashmir issue.  Sharif said during his US visit in July 1999 amid Kargil



Washington has repeatedly said that India and Pakistan should determine the “pace, scope and character” of their dialogue. 

Sharif said India and Pakistan both were nuclear powers and the region was a nuclear flash point.

He said that though India did not want such intervention, the world powers should get involved to resolve the issue. He said for the last 60 years both sides were entangled in an arms race. 

“The situation can become dangerous. India has nuclear bomb, so do we; India develops missiles, so do we. There should be a limit to it. We all should think about it,” he was quoted as saying.
