New Delhi, Oct 13 (ANI): Security Expert Alok Bansal on Monday expressed concern over Pakistan Prime Minister's National Security Advisor Sartaj Aziz's letter to UN asking to intervene in Kashmir issue and also on ISIS raising its head in India. Bansal said that Pakistan has always tried to internationalize the issues related to Kashmir. He said that the country wants to take advantage of the opportunity to internationalize Kashmir issue though none of the nations paid any heed to the same. Further, talking about ISIS flag unfurled at an anti- Pakistan protest in Kashmir, Bansal said that it is unfortunate that there is an attraction towards Islamic state in Indian youth as they still see the glorious past of Islam now.
