KARACHI: `Bharat cannot take the Kashmir question back from the Security Council, declared Chaudhri Mohammad Zafrullah, Pakistan Foreign Minister, ... on Thursday [Aug 31]. `It is not open to any country to take any question off the agenda` of the Security Council, [he] explained, adding that `it is for the organisation only` to take a decision in this regard. ... Chaudhri Zafrullah Khan told [news agencies] ... that deliberations in the Security Council over ... Kashmir ... might be finished before the General Assembly session commenced on Sept 19. Bharat ... [he said] ... had refused to reconsider her stand vis-a-vis the proposed round table conference on the Indians` question in South Africa.

The assurance of South Africa that the Group Areas Bill would not be put into administrative enforcement before December next was not considered `enough` for the holding of the conference by Bharat in her reply to the communication Pakistan had recently addressed to her on the subject.

He, however, added that `Pakistan is still trying between the two Governments (of Bharat and South Africa) that ... the conference should be brought about and the possibility of an amicable solution investigated.
