Talks with Pakistan only on PoK, not J&K: Rajnath Singh

Talks with Pakistan only on PoK, not J&K: Rajnath Singh

Defense Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday reiterated India's tough stand to Pakistan, asserting that bilateral talks, if any, will now focus only on Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir and not Jammu & Kashmir. He criticized Pakistan for blaming India for the Kashmir issue and approaching the UN over the matter. He was addressing a public meeting in Haryana where Assembly elections are due in October. Here's more.

Details
Pakistan's support to terror should stop before holding talks: Singh

Singh also reiterated the Center's position that Pakistan should stop supporting terror outfits before holding a dialogue with India. Notably, his comments come only days after he said that India can revoke its "No First Use" nuclear weapons policy - a statement being seen as a response to Pakistan's move to take up the Indian Government's decision on J&K in several international forums.

Quote
'About what should we talk?' asks Singh

"...People from Pakistan say there should be talks between India and Pakistan. About what should we talk? What's the issue on which there should be a talk? Why there should be a talk?," Singh said at BJP's "Jan Ashirwad Yatra" in Kalka of Haryana's Panchkula.

Statement
Talks will be on PoK and no other issue: Singh

"If there would be any talks with Pakistan, it would happen only when Pakistan stops supporting terror from its soil until then there's no reason for any talks," Singh said at the BJP rally in Haryana "Also, in future, if talks are held with Pakistan, then it will be on the issue of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and no other issue," the Defense Minister said.

UNSC meeting
Pakistan knocks on international community's doors, saying India made mistake

"Our neighbor (Pakistan) is knocking doors of international community, saying India made a mistake (abrogation of Article 370 and J&K bifurcation)," Singh said at the rally. This comes a day after the United Nations Security Council discussed the Kashmir issue on the request of China, Pakistan's all-weather ally. However, the meeting was reportedly concluded with no resolution in a major snub to Pakistan.

Information
Majority of UNSC members agreed J&K was a bilateral issue

However, at the UNSC meeting, a majority of the member nations agreed that the removal of the special status granted to Jammu & Kashmir and its bifurcation into two Union Territories was a bilateral issue between India and Pakistan.

Politics
BJP not concerned about vote bank politics: Singh

"People used to say that any move on Article 370 will divide the nation. We were told that BJP won't come back to power after that," ANI quoted Singh as saying. "I want to tell you, people, that BJP is not concerned about vote bank politics. We are more focused on the politics which is about national integration," he said at the rally.
