I believe that even the international mediation on Kashmir will not yield any positive outcome. In the past, many countries and international organizations showed their wholehearted readiness to mediate on the issue many times, but the parties involved in the dispute, namely India and Pakistan, are least interested to resolve the issue.
Both sides are sticking to their stands and not ready to budge an inch without having any concerns for the plight of Kashmiris who have become a victim of this power game. The failure of reaching any solution to the dispute will only result in violence which will claim more lives.
It is a fact that military actions do not bring peace, but prepare ground for more bloodshed. The military troops on both sides of the borders are not mere soldiers. They are also serving their respective governments and obeying what they are ordered to do.
The only one way to solve the issue is the negotiation and mediation. But it so sad to see both parties using even the meetings, which they call negotiations, as an avenue to score brownie points over each other. — T. H. Darimi, Jeddah
