STATEMENT BY MR. AGHA SHAHI, REPRESENTATIVE OF
PAKISTAN
December 5, 1971

 In making my present remarks, I am concerned only with clarifying certain issues which were regrettably confused or distorted in the statements of the Representatives of the Soviet Union and India.

 Yesterday, the Representative of the Soviet Union, Ambassador Malik, read from document S/10412, which contains a report by the Secretary General on the situation along the cease-fire line in Kashmir. It must be pointed out that report relates to the State of Jammu and Kashmir, which is disputed territory. It must also be pointed out that this report could not have been filed except for the provisions of resolutions of the United Nations Commission for India and Pakistan of 13th August, 1948, and 5th January, 1949, adopted under the auspices of the Security Council.

 The Soviet Representative will recall that the India-Pakistan question has been on the agenda of the Security Council for the last twenty-three years and has engaged the Council's attention at more than 100 meetings. He will also recall that it was his Delegation which vetoed three proposals in the Security Council which would have facilitated a settlement of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute. Let me quote from the same document (S/10412), paragraph 2, in rebuttal of the charge he made against Pakistan concerning the alleged violation of the ceasefire line in Jammu and Kashmir:

 '... (c) The Indian military authorities had admitted that, since 20th October, 1971, they had strengthened their forces in Jammu and Kashmir by a considerable number, thus exceeding the authorized level of troops in Jammu and Kashmir under the Karachi Agreement and that they would continue to do so as considered necessary for the security of Indian territory.

 "(d) The Chief Military Observer found that Pakistan had also introduced additional forces on its side of the cease fire" ....but “without... exceeding the permissible level."

 It may be noted that the dates when India violated the Karachi agreement, 20th October, and when Pakistan moved additional forces, but within the permissible limit, 29th November, are forty days apart. It was only after forty days of violation, of the Karachi Agreement that Pakistan moved to restore the balance, and even then it took care to remain within the magnitude of forces permitted under that Agreement. As regards the particular so-called violations cited by the Representative of the Soviet Union-about the alleged crossing of the cease-fire line-let me inform the Council
