Mirwaiz said that the issue is already registered with the world’s highest body the UN and in forums like OIC which has time and again passed many resolutions that call for resolving the Kashmir dispute, but the obstinacy of New Delhi, continues to play spoil sport in resolution of one of the longest pending disputes.
