NYT urges world powers to channelise efforts for resolving Kashmir dispute
May 20, 2018

The leading US newspaper "The New York Times" has suggested a tripartite dialogue on Kashmir issue, involving Pakistan, India and Kashmiris.

In its editorial, the daily has emphasized the urgency to settle the Kashmir dispute, urging the United States to channelize its efforts to end the imbroglio.

The editorial pointed out that the conflict has been the cause of three wars between Pakistan and India while border skirmishes along the heavily armed Line of Control are common.

Referring to the unsuccessful iron-hand policy of the Indian government in Kashmir, the newspaper said heavy-handed tactics may hold territory, but they lose the population.
