Mr. Sharif had told the UNGA that Pakistan had tried to reach out to India, and proposed:
- Formalising the ceasefire,
- Demilitarising Kashmir
- Demilitarising Siachen Glacier, and
- Agreeing to end the use of force
India responded: “Instead of four proposals, we need only one point: that Pakistan end support to terror groups,”
The emphasis on Pakistan-occupied Kashmir marks a new move by India, to move the debate over the Kashmir dispute to discuss PoK rather than the Kashmir Valley.
