All of Kashmir is India’s: Swaraj tells Pakistan PM
25 July 2016 4:40 AM IST
Foreign minister Sushma Swaraj gave an unequivocal response to Pakistani PM Nawaz Sharif on Saturday, accusing his government of “the unabashed embrace of terrorism”, the use of ‘dirty money” and the unleashing of the recent violence in J&K where nearly 50 people have died and 3,000 been injured in clashes after the shooting of 22-year-old terrorist Burhan Wani.
Swaraj said the Pakistani PM “praised as a martyr, a wanted terrorist”. She also said that Pakistan can “dream to the end of eternity” of Kashmir one day being Pakistan’s, a comment made by Sharif on Friday. Wani was shot dead on July 8 triggering a searing cycle of violence in the Valley. Sharif also called for Pakistan to observe a “black day” earlier this week to protest against what Islamabad described as the “widespread violation” of human rights in Kashmir.
