Last week, Lodhi had said Pakistan was using all diplomatic channels to resolve decades-old Kashmir issue under the UN resolutions.

Talking to journalists, Lodhi had said that the UN Security Council’s meeting had nullified Indian claims that Kashmir was their internal matter.

She further said that India had made its all-out efforts to stop the UNSC meeting so as to put Kashmir issue under the carpet but New Delhi remained unsuccessful in its nefarious designs.

Lodhi said that Pakistan effectively highlighted Kashmir issue at the international forum.
