China raises Kashmir issue at UN
United Nations, Sep 28: Raising the Kashmir issue at the UN, China has told the General Assembly that the "dispute" should be peacefully and properly addressed in accordance with the UN Charter, Security Council resolutions and the bilateral agreement.
China, a close ally of Pakistan, also stressed that no actions should be taken that would unilaterally change the "status quo".
"The Kashmir issue, a dispute left from the past, should be peacefully and properly addressed in accordance with the UN Charter, Security Council resolutions and bilateral agreement," State Councilor and Foreign Minister of China Wang Yi said in his address to the UN General Assembly on Friday.
"No actions that would unilaterally change the status quo should be taken. As a neighbour of both India and Pakistan, China hopes to see the dispute effectively managed and stability restored to the relationship between the two sides," Wang said.
India ended Jammu and Kashmir's special status by abrogating Article 370 of its Constitution on August 5.
India's decision evoked strong reactions from Pakistan, which downgraded diplomatic ties and expelled the Indian ambassador.
Pakistan has been trying to internationalise the Kashmir issue after India withdrew the special status of Jammu and Kashmir on August 5, but New Delhi has asserted the abrogation of Article 370 was its "internal matter".
India has also said that there is no scope for any third party mediation on the Kashmir issue.

14-year-old girl in Chhattisgarh kills elder brother for stopping her from using mobile phone
Rajnandgaon (PTI): A 14-year-old girl allegedly hacked her elder brother to death with an axe after he scolded her for talking to boys on mobile phone in Chhattisgarh's Khairagarh-Chhuikhadan-Gandai district, police said.
The teenager has been detained for the offence that took place at Amlidihkala village under Chhuikhadan police station limits on Friday, the police said in a statement on Saturday.
The girl told the police that she and her brother (18) were at home at the time of the incident while the other family members had gone out for work.
Her brother reprimanded her claiming she talked to boys on mobile phone, and asked her not to use the phone anymore.
Angry over the rebuke, the girl allegedly hit her brother on his throat with an axe when he had fallen asleep. Her brother died on the spot, police said.
The girl then had a bath and cleaned the blood stains on her clothes before telling neighbours that her brother had been murdered.
After being alerted by villagers, a police team reached the spot and launched an investigation into the incident.
During questioning by police, the girl admitted to have killed him, the statement said.
A case was registered and further investigation was underway.
