Peace for a month

Letter May 19, 2018
The move is likely to gain India the status of an observer nation at the OIC

HYDERABAD: In an ironical yet politically calculated move Indian forces have stopped their operations in the India-occupied Kashmir for the ongoing month of Ramazan. The move is likely to gain India the status of an observer nation at the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation. Does this mean that India will resume its operation once the month of Ramazan is over and India has gained its status at the OIC?

But India should not be given this status till the time it agrees to start dialogue that results in a peaceful resolution of the Kashmir dispute.
