India has always insisted on solving this issue through bilateral talks, but so far these efforts have failed to produce any result, Advisor to the Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz claimed.
"If we accept the Indian claim at the UN and other international forums that the Kashmir problem is no more an issue, then why are there thousands of soldiers deployed along the LoC?" he said while making a statement on foreign policy in the National Assembly or lower house of parliament.
Aziz added: "Is it not the responsibility of the international community to help solve this issue due to which even a small incident can cause violence between the two nuclear armed countries?"
Questioning whether the world community thinks Kashmir is "no more an issue", he said: "If this is the result of continuous efforts by Pakistan to have bilateral negotiations, then how this issue can be solved and how peace can be restored in the region?"
Bilateral relations soured after five Indian soldiers were killed in an attack by Pakistani troops along the LoC earlier this month. Both sides have accused each other of violating the 2003 ceasefire on the LoC.
Talking about the ceasefire violations, Aziz claimed Indian Defence Minister A K Antony had changed his stance on the August 6 killing of Indian soldiers due to pressure from the opposition.
