Pakistan's government is all set to rake Kashmir yet again, days after the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation or SCO head of government summit which was attended by India. Pakistan’s Foreign Secretary Amna Baloch will be briefing foreign diplomatic corps based in Islamabad later today on Kashmir.

The briefing will be part of events that are organised by Islamabad ahead of 27th October which it observes as a "black day".

On October 27, 1947, Indian military forces landed in Srinagar, following the accession of Jammu and Kashmir to India by Maharaja Hari Singh. This accession is disputed by Pakistan which had sent raiders to the region leading to the start of the Kashmir conflict.

The timing of the meeting is significant as the SCO meeting last week, on October 15-16th went cordially, and with the presence of India's External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar. While no bilateral between India and Pakistan happened, the shrill was also absent.

A few days ahead of his visit, EAM Dr S Jaishankar said that he was going to Pakistan in a multilateral context and not to discuss India Pakistan, adding, "..since I'm a courteous, civil person, I will behave myself accordingly..'.

The almost 24-hour-long visit saw 2 public handshakes between EAM Dr Jaishankar & Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif, one national statement, one tree planting and one morning walk.

Meanwhile, the situation in the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir is deteriorating with terror attacks. Indian security officials believe Pakistani terror groups are responsible for it.

Over the past week, there have been significant attacks. These attacks have resulted in the death of multiple individuals, including soldiers, civilian porters, and non-local workers.
