United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon now says he never made a statement on Kashmir

Martin Nesirky, spokesman for the Secretary-General, said his office did not release a statement but a media guidance that was prepared by the U.N. Secretariat, and that seems to have been taken out of context.

When journalists asked Mr. Nesirky how he could blame the media for twisting the content of the e-mail and whether it was due to pressure by India, he declined to take any more question. “All I can say is what I''ve already told you. I don''t have anything further to add.”

India reacted angrily to Mr. Ban's observations on the unrest in Kashmir. Its Permanent Mission in New York sought a clarification from the office of the Secretary-General and was told “no such question” was raised at a press conference, nor did Mr. Ban make any such comment.

When contacted the same day, the person who circulated the e-mail, Farhan Haq, claimed that Mr. Ban had indeed made the observations. “It was not a statement but remarks in answer to a question … on this topic,” he had said.
