MALEEHA Lodhi, our ambassador to the UN, spoke well at UN Assembly until she displayed a gory picture of a girl smeared with pallet wounds showing that it was the ugly face of India.
It, however, turned out that the picture belonged to a victim in Palestine. How much this blunder has brought shame to Pakistan and how much has it damage d our case for the independence of Kashmir is anybody`s guess. But it reminds us how one wrong step can produce a disastrous result. I am not concerned that it was a mistake, I am concerned about its damage.
Lastly, I am not convinced that our delegation effectively dispelled the well-orchestrated argument of India that under the Simla agreement Kashmir had become only a bilateral issue and no longer aninternationalone.
