After the return of ‘stolen parts’, Kashmir dispute will be resolved: Jaishankar, Pakistan described as baseless

Foreign Minister S Jaishankar has said that the Kashmir dispute will be resolved “after the return of the stolen part of Kashmir, which is illegally in Pakistan’s possession.”

Jaishankar made this comment while addressing a session of Chautham House Think-Tank in London on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Pakistan on Thursday rejected Jaishankar’s remarks regarding Kashmir, calling it “baseless”. Also demanded a resolution of this issue.

Jaishankar, while answering a listener’s question about the “solution” of the Kashmir issue, said, “Regarding Kashmir, I think, in fact we have done a good job towards resolving most of its issues.”

He said, “The removal of Article-370 was the first step, the second step was to restore development, economic activities and social justice in Kashmir and the third step was to conduct elections with too much voting.”

Jaishankar said, “I think what we are waiting for is the return of the stolen part of Kashmir, which is in the illegal occupation of Pakistan.” When this happens, I assure you that the Kashmir issue will be resolved. ”

In Islamabad, Pakistan Foreign Office spokesman Shafkat Ali Khan rejected Jaishankar’s remarks in his weekly press conference. Khan said, “Instead of making baseless claims about Azad Jammu and Kashmir, India should vacate a large area of ​​Jammu and Kashmir kept in its possession for the last 77 years.”

India-Pakistan bilateral relations went to a lower level after India had gone to the lower level after India on August 5, 2019, to cancel the Constitution, after dividing the state into two union territories by abolishing the state’s special status and dividing the state into two union territories.

“The relevant resolutions of the United Nations Security Council provides that the final position of Jammu and Kashmir will be determined through an independent and fair referendum under the aegis of the United Nations,” Khan said. The prejudice of India cannot change this reality. ”

He also dismissed the claims of the Indian minister about the elections held in Kashmir in his part of Kashmir last year and said, “According to the Indian Constitution, no electoral process can work as an alternative to the right to self-determination.” India has repeatedly told Pakistan that Jammu and Kashmir was an integral part of the country, and always.
