Sushma: Kashmir will never be a part of Pak

Union External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on Saturday sent out a strong message to the Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif for his comments earlier this week that he is waiting for the day Kashmir becomes a part of Pakistan. She also slammed Pakistan for its continued provocation on the Kashmir issue and told the neighbors that its dream of making Kashmir its own can never be fulfilled.

She addressed a press conference and was flanked by MoS. External Affairs VK Singh and MJ Akbar. "In the last few days, Pakistani leaders have made a lot of statements over the law and order situation in J&K," Swaraj said. "J&K is a part of India and will be a part of India. Pakistan's dream of making Kashmir its own will never be fulfilled. Pakistan has never given blessings to Kashmir, only gave terrorists,” Swaraj added.

"Nawaz Sharif says that his good wishes are with the people of Kashmir. Sadly, it's not Pakistan's good wishes or moral or diplomatic support but its weapons and terrorism that it has exported to Jammu and Kashmir," she said. Pakistan PM Sharif had on Friday said, "We are waiting for the day Kashmir becomes a part of Pakistan."
