'Pakistan and India are nuclear weapons states and the situation in Jammu and Kashmir is very, very turbulent,' Ambassador Masood Khan told Newsweek.
With tensions high across the disputed region of Kashmir, Pakistan's ambassador to the United States has warned of a serious threat of escalation 75 years after his nation's first war with India, and this includes the looming possibility that the two rivals could turn to their strategic arsenals should a fight erupt.'That risk is always there,' Ambassador Masood Khan told Newsweek.
'We should have talks to put this issue on the table again, and resolve it for all times to come. It can't be swept under the carpet. This would be good for both countries and the people of Jammu and Kashmir.'Such an effort at the U.N., he said, may finally lead to a breakthrough on the territory's status, which remains unofficially disputed in the eyes of the international body, even as India reserved the right to govern its side of the Line of Control the way it saw fit.
