The UN Security Council has not been discussing the escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, Russia’s envoy to the UN and Council president for October said, in a clear snub to Pakistan which had raised the Kashmir issue and surgical strike by India in the world body.

Churkin was addressing the media as Russia assumed the Presidency of the 15-nation Council for October.
