Ban Ki-Moon United Nations chief concerned over Kashmir situation
United Nations secretary general Ban Ki-moon is concerned over the tense situation in Kashmir following the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani, a spokesperson said on Monday.
Stephane Dujarric told reporters the UN chief has noted with concern the situation unfolding in Kashmir.
Dujarric strongly rejected remarks by a Pakistani journalist that the UN chief, who had earlier in the day addressed the press on the situation in South Sudan, has “brushed aside” the issue of Kashmir and is not sufficiently addressing it.
“No one is denying that we are concerned about the situation in Kashmir. The fact that the secretary general did not raise it as he did not raise many other critical situations around the world does not mean that he is brushing anything aside,” Dujarric said.
