Thant proposes five point plan to end India Pakistan war
United Nations Secretary General Thant suggests a five point program based on mutual troop withdrawal and direct talks between Pakistan and India. He urges the Security Council to order a cease fire under Chapter VII and to help enforce it, possibly with a small council committee to aid talks between President Ayub Khan and Prime Minister Shastri. Shastri warned China against invasion threats while pledging border region investigations to avoid a broader war. Military actions continued around Lahore as Indian forces advanced toward the city and clashes intensified along the Ichogil Canal.
