MEA blows away Pakistan’s J&K narrative
Srinagar: The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) Thursday blew away Pakistan’s narrative on Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh and took exception to the assertion of Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharief for the duration of his go to to China wherein made a connection with Kashmir.
During Pakistan PM’s 2-day go to to China, Sharif, who met Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing on Wednesday, raked up the Kashmir issue.
This became Sharif’s first go to to Beijing after turning into the high minister in April this year.
Reacting to Sharif’s assertion on Kashmir, Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesman, Arindam Bagchi Thursday stated the joint assertion launched following the go to of Pakistan PM to China contained several “unwarranted references to Indian Union Territory of J&K.”
In a chain of tweets, the MEA spokesman stated, “Union Territory of J&K and Ladakh are and usually can be crucial and inalienable elements of India.”
Bagchi stated that concerning China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) India had continually conveyed its protests and issues to China and Pakistan.
“CPEC consists of initiatives from the sovereign territory of India this is beneathneath forcible and unlawful outside occupation,” he stated. “We resolutely reject any tries to utilise such initiatives to extrade status-quo withinside the area, any tries to contain 1/3 events in such sports are inherently unlawful, illegitimate, and unacceptable and can be handled as such through us.”
