United Nations: Asserting that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India,
External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna Monday took umbrage at
Pakistan making an "unwarranted" bid to raise the issue at the
United Nations.
"An unwarranted reference has been made to Jammu and Kashmir from
this podium," Krishna said in an address at the UN General
Assembly referring to President Asif Ali Zardari's remarks at the
world forum last week.
"Our principled position on the issue has been consistent and is
well known," he said asserting: "The people of Jammu and Kashmir
have chosen and reaffirmed their destiny repeatedly through
India's well established democratic processes."
"We wish to make it abundantly clear that Jammu and Kashmir is an
integral part of India."
Noting that India has "embarked on a resumed dialogue process with
Pakistan and advocate a step-by-step approach to normalizing our
bilateral relations," Krishna said "India desires constructive and
friendly relations with all its neighbours."
In his address to the UN General Assembly last week Zardari had
said the Kashmir issue was a "symbol of the failures, rather than
strengths of the UN system" of the UN, and a resolution could only
be arrived in an "environment of cooperation".
Turning to India's neighbourhood, Krishna said: "We have a vision
of a peaceful, stable and prosperous region with enhanced
cooperation and connectivity linking us with Central Asia, the
Gulf and South-East Asia."
"Within South Asia, we have sought to enhance bilateral relations
individually with each of our neighbours and through the aegis of
the SAARC," Krishna added.
