UNITED NATIONS: The obstructionist attitude of the Security Council`s two super-Powers yesterday [Oct 28] prevented an adoption of a resolution on the Kashmir dispute. It is learned that a resolution reaffirming all the aspects of the Council`s September 20 resolution worked out by some nonpermanent members of the Council and fully backed by France, was to be tabled yesterday. But the Soviet Union, which publicly says it still stands by that resolution in its entirety, is said to be unfavourable to the reaffirming of that resolution at this time.

Russia maintains that presently the Council should only press for the stabilisation of the cease-fire and the withdrawal of forces. The United States and Britain are reportedly going along with the Soviet line. Correspondent [Meanwhile, as reported by agencies from Rawalpindi,] the Indian Government has restricted the visit of foreign friends of the King and Queen of Sikkim to that land-locl(ed country, according to a report published in the `Indian Express` of Bombay.

The report said, `The Maharaja and Maharani are aggrieved at Indian of ficials` reluctance to let the ruling family`s foreign friends visit the landlocked kingdom.` There are also reports that the American-born Queen Hope Namgyal was shadowed by the Indians all along her recent tour to the United Kingdom and elsewhere.

The King, who is a progressive ruler with a nationalistic outlook, has always been treated by the Indian rulers with suspicion and they have kept a sharp vigil on him lest he should with the help of nationalist elements in Sikkim, which are very strong in that country, try to throw off the Indian colonialist hold. At one stage, the Indian Government tried to subvert Sikkim by inciting a paid coterie masquerading in the name of the Sikkim Congress, which started a vehement agitation within and without Sikkim for `accession` of Sikkim to India `on the pattern of Kashmir`.
