While commenting on the recent tweet by the department. In which the US referred to Jammu Kashmir as “India’s Jammu and Kashmir”. Does State does not recognize this as a disputed territory? Is there some sort of change in the position that we need to know?
In response, he said that there has been no change in US policy in the region.
Jammu and Kashmir never was Indian Territory, never will be. India has multiple activities in Pakistan. Among them are orchestrating, financing, and providing logistical support to terrorist organizations. Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan and the Jamaat-ul-Ahraar to target Pakistan from across the border.
“Indian has hired and organized criminal groups located at our western borders to conduct terrorist attacks in Pakistan, especially to disrupt the development of the western and southern regions of my country,” said a senior Pakistani diplomat at the UNGA last year.
The tweet being spoken of was the one in which the US had welcomed the resumption of internet services in occupied Kashmir.
“We welcome the resumption of 4G mobile internet in India’s Jammu & Kashmir. This marks an important step for local residents and we look forward to continued political & economic progress to restore normalcy in J&K”.
