J&K India's internal matter, China must refrain from commenting on it: MEA

New Delhi/IBNS: The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Tuesday rejected the reference to Jammu & Kashmir in the joint statement issued by China and Pakistan after the recent visit of the Islamic country's President to Beijing.

Speaking to reporters, MEA spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said J&K is an integral part of India.

"The Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir is an integral part of India.  Issues related to J&K are internal matter of India. We expect other countries including China not to comment on matters that are internal affairs of India and also to respect India’s sovereignty and territorial integrity just as India refrains from commenting on internal issues of other countries," said he.

India also strongly objected to and reiterated its concerns to both China and Pakistan on the projects in so-called illegal “China Pakistan Economic Corridor”, which is in the territory of India that has been "illegally occupied by Pakistan since 1947."

"India is resolutely opposed to any actions by other countries to change the status quo in Pakistan occupied J&K. We call on parties concerned to cease such actions. Such illegal activities will never be accepted by India," said he.
