I also noticed that the Jammu-Kashmir item, which was on our agenda last meeting, has disappeared today, although we know that only the Council can delete any item from the Council's agenda. The Council has not deleted this item; hence, the former Jammu-Kashmir item should be included in our agenda.
With regard to the new letter from the Pakistani representative, I have no objection to including this letter and the question that the Pakistani Government wishes to raise in the Security Council as a separate item in our agenda—I would stress that it would be a separate item of our agenda, since it -would be incorrect (in this respect I am in agreement with the Indian representative) to combine the substance of the question of the situation in Kashmir with the general problem of the relations between India and Pakistan.
The question of the situation in the Jammu-Kashmir State should have a separate status and should remain on the agenda as such until the Council concludes its debates, while the letter from the Pakistani representative, received yesterday by the Security Council, should be included as a separate item of the agenda; for instance, as the third item.
