Pasthuns protest against Pakistan Army and its intelligence agencies at UN office in Geneva

In the August 16 UNSC closed door session, the US, France and Russia backed India over its moves on Kashmir

In yet another diplomatic win for India, the European Union Parliament supported New Delhi's stance on Kashmir and called Pakistan an "ambiguous" nation.

Calling India "the greatest democracy of the world," the EU pointed out that one needs to look at the number of terrorist acts that the country has faced over the years. "Pakistan has threatened to use nuclear arms. Pakistan is somewhere where terrorists have been able to plan bloody terrorist attacks in Europe without mentioning tremendous human rights violation in Pakistan," said Fulvio Martusciello, a member of EU Parliament and Group of European People's Party (Christian Democrats) in Italy.

Meanwhile, Ryszard Czarnecki, another member of EU Parliament and European Conservatives and Reformists Group in Poland added, "India is the greatest democracy of the world. We need to look at terrorist acts that took place in India and J&K. These terrorists didn't land from moon. They were coming from the neighbouring country. We should support India."

Following the August 5 move of the Narendra Modi-led government wherein it abrogated Article 370, New Delhi has maintained that Kashmir is an 'internal matter' — a stance that has been supported by many countries — while Pakistan has failed to internationalise the issue despite repeated attempts.
