501.BC Kashmir/10–248: Telegram
The Embassy in Pakistan to the Secretary of State
486. Prime Minister Liaquat Ali Khan returned Karachi last night and at Cabinet meeting GOP decided instruct Foreign Minister Sir [Page 416] Zafrulla Khan now in Paris to apprise SC of Nehru’s telegram concerning Pakistan troops in Kashmir (mytel 483, October 1). GOP hopes reference matter to SC will tend stay Nehru’s hand but feels GOI has scant respect that body and even if strongly rebuked by SC will probably continue on present course. Nehru being informed by Liaquat Ali Khan reply his message that as Kashmir dispute is still before SC his telegram is being communicated to SC.
