New Delhi | Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday trained his guns on Pakistan and said it has no locus standi on Kashmir.
“I want to ask Pakistan, when did Kashmir ever belong to you. Kashmir was always part of India. Pakistan has no locus standi on this matter,” he said.
Singh said Pakistan’s efforts to seek support from other countries on the abrogation of Article 370 won’t bear any fruit and no one is backing Islamabad.’
Rajnath Singh, addressing an event of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), said New Delhi can’t talk with Islamabad unless it stops trying to destabilise India.
He said Pakistan should rather focus on human right violation that are happening in PoK.
Rajnath Singh also said US Defense Secretary Mark Esper had told him that nullification of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir was India’s internal matter.
Pakistan has strongly criticised India’s move to scrap Article 370, and has sought international interference in the matter.
India, however, has maintained that Kashmir is an internal issue.
