US Generals Siachen Visit Casts Shadow on India-Pakistan Ties
by Ravi S. Jha NEW DELHI -- India's growing political and defence relations with the United States have apparently left Pakistan's military establishment ill at ease. Islamabad has vehemently protested the visit of US army chief General George Casey to 'disputed' Siachen, reflecting the deterioration in its relations with Washington. The Siachen is a 6,300 metre high lifeless glacier in the Karakoram range of Kashmir. However, India and the US have refused to attach importance to Pakistan's burly indignation over Gen Casey's visit. Posted by: Steve White 2008-10-19 |
