Pakistan has accepted that it will be difficult to findsupport if it rakes up Kashmir issue with the United Nations Security Council'sfive permanent members (P5) and from Muslim countries as well. Speaking at apress conference, Pakistan foreign minister SM Qureshi said, "People inthe Security Council aren't standing with flowers, any of the P5 members can bea hurdle. There shouldn't be any ambiguity on that, do not live in a fool'sparadise."

Qureshi then said, "Let the people of Pakistan andKashmir be aware that nobody out there(at UNSC) is waiting for you, nor isawaiting your invite."The development comes exactly a week after New Delhidecided to remove the special status for Jammu and Kashmir. Over the weekend,Russia became the first P5 member country to openly back New Delhi's decision,calling it India's internal matter taken 'within the framework of theConstitution of the Republic of India.' The US State Department has also'noted' the developments calling it India's internal matter.

Last week, in a big snub to Pakistan, the United NationsSecurity Council did not take up Pakistani FM's letter dated August 6 atseveral meetings written in the aftermath of New Delhi removing the specialstatus for the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir.

Pakistani FM also said, "Lots of countries haveinterests there (in India). I have said this in hints earlier, hope you get it.It is a new realignment. It is a $1 billion market, lots of people have investedthere. We talk about Ummah (Muslim Nations) and Islam but those who are thesafeguards of Muslim nations have invested there(in India). They have theirinterests there."

His statement comes on a day when Saudi Arabia-backed SaudiAramco, world's largest company by revenue, announced that it will acquire a20% stake in Reliance's oil and chemical business, making it India's largestforeign direct investment.

In the last one week, two members of the Organisation ofIslamic Cooperation(OIC) - United Arab Emirates and Maldives - have supportedNew Delhi's decision on Kashmir and called it an internal matter.
