Violence in Kashmir is an internal matter of India, says Krishna | Visiting Indian External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna today said that violence in the state of Jammu and Kashmir is 'an internal matter of India.' Krishna, who arrived
on Wednesday on a three-day visit, was reacting to reported comments of his Pakistani
counterpart Shah Mahmood Qureshi, who said that he would raise the issue of alleged
human rights violations in Jammu and Kashmir during talks with the Indian External
Affairs Minister on Thursday. "India has always taken a consistent position and
whatever is happening in Kashmir is an internal matter of India," he told reporters
at Hotel Serena in Islamabad. "We are answerable to many agencies in our country
(India) about human rights and we are not answerable to any other country on human
rights, Krishna added. Commenting on the issues that would come up during the
talks with Qureshi, he said: "There is no fixed agenda what is to be discussed
and what not to be discussed. India can place all its concerns and Pakistan can
also place all its concerns." |
