The dispute between India and Pakistan over Kashmir has been running for decades now. China has offered to play what it calls a constructive role in resolving the row. But, India has rejected the offer, saying it wants to resolve the conflict with Pakistan bilaterally. This comes amid a month-long military standoff between India and China over a road construction in a disputed border region. Press TV’s Sanjay Sethi tells us more from New Delhi.
