A survey conducted by Gallup-Gilani, the Pakistani affiliate of Gallup International shows that majority of Pakistanis consider the country's economy as the biggest problem instead of the Kashmir issue.

According to the survey conducted by Gallup-Gilani in four provinces of Pakistan, 53% of the country's people consider inflation as the major issue, 23% cites unemployment as the biggest problem in the country, and 4% finds corruption as the major hurdle of the country. Only a minor 8% of those surveyed consider Kashmir issue as the top priority in Pakistan.

According to the survey, the Kashmir issue ranks below inflation and unemployment as the major problem affecting the country.

According to the IANS, a total of 1,200 Pakistanis were surveyed for over a period of two weeks from October 7 to October 20, which comprised of men and women in urban and rural areas of all four provinces in Pakistan-  Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan and North-West Frontier Province.  

In accordance with the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019, the state along with its democratic institutions are being reorganised into two Union Territories - Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh following Narendra Modi's decision to abrogate article 370 which accorded special status to J&K on August 5.

As per the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019, the two union territories came into existence at the stroke of midnight on 31 October, almost three months after the Centre revoked Article 370.

Ever since the abrogation of article 370, Pakistan attempted to rake up the Kashmir issue at various UN bodies which found little support among member countries of the United Nations.
