Opinion| Kashmir is not on Pakistani minds

Live Mint  

A Pakistan-wide poll by an international agency has revealed what was always suspected. The rift with India over the Kashmir issue, which Pakistan has so desperately sought to internationalize, figures quite low on the list of common Pakistani worries. According to a Gallup International poll, which surveyed Pakistan’s all four provinces, 53% of respondents said the state of the economy, particularly spiralling inflation, was the biggest problem haunting them. This, despite Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan nominating himself as the “ambassador of Kashmir” and vowing to raise the issue at every international forum, after India ended the state’s autonomy and integrated it fully with itself on 5 August. It is clear that Pakistan’s ruling elites have used the Kashmir row to distract the country’s people from their real problems.
