Pakistan today upped the ante on Kashmir, with Prime Minister Imran Khan alleging use of ‘cluster bombs’ by India on civilians along the LoC and appealing to the UN Security Council to intervene, while Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi raised the matter with the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation. India has strongly denied any use of cluster bombs to target civilians.
Imran Khan chaired a meeting of the National Security Committee here, where he alleged that India has used “cluster bombs” on civilians along the LoC and called on the UN Security Council to take note of the “international threat to peace and security”.
Imran Khan’s move comes in the wake of US President Donald Trump renewing his offer to mediate on the Kashmir issue, which India has firmly rejected. – IANS
