WASHINGTON (NNI) US Congressman Dan Burton has sought the intervention of the Obama Administration in resolving the Kashmir issue, claiming that it has direct impact on the global war against terrorism in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Regrettably, the conflict has garnered little attention from the American media and zero attention from the White House, Burton, a Republican, said in his speech on the floor of the US House of Representatives early this week. During the presidential campaign, President Obama pledged to appoint a special envoy to the region and declared... that solving the 'Kashmir crisis was one of his 'critical tasks. So far, this has been a promise unfulfilled, said the Congressman from Indiana. He said he believed that an end to the violence and uncertainty in Kashmir would be widely welcomed in India and Pakistan as well as by our military commanders in Afghanistan.
