Pakistan's desperation over Kashmir is evident as it plays Afghanistan card,

Narendra Modi govt’s proactive move to revoke Jammu and Kashmir’s 'autonomy' and turn it into a Union Territory has put the onus on Pakistan to react, and so far Pakistan has been struggling to come up with a viable response

As diplomatic options become scarce, Pakistan is turning increasingly desperate on Kashmir and showing signs of falling back on the few leverages it has on this issue in an already constrained hand. Its moves to link Afghanistan conflict — where the US is frantically seeking an exit strategy — and naked fearmongering over ‘nuclear war’ in south Asia are aimed at blackmailing the Donald Trump administration and the United Nations into intervening into an issue that until recently was a bilateral dispute between India and Pakistan but since 5 August has turned into India’s "internal matter".
