15011948 Text of the Letter of Mr. Zafmllah Khan, Pakistan s Minister of Foreign Affairs, addressed to the President of the Security Council for change of Agenda of the Meeting from

'The Jammu & Kashmir question' to the 'India-Pakistan question'

"To the President of the Security Council"

sir

'''I beg to request that a meeting of the Security Council may be called at as early a date as possible to consider the situations (other than the Jammu & Kashmir situation) set out in my letter dated 15 January 1948 addressed to the Secretary-General.``

All these situations have led to a very acute crisis between India and Pakistan. More particularly the continued occupation by the armed forces of India of the State of Junagadh, which is part of Pakistan, and the oppression and spoilation of the Muslim population constitute a casus belli and may associate military action on the part of Pakistan unless urgent action is taken by the Security Council.

(Signed) Zafrullah Khan,

Minister of Foreign Affairs

Government of Pakistan

Dated: 20th January 1948
