The Kashmir issue will be resolved after reclaiming PoK: Jaishankar
When questioned about the Kashmir issue at Chatham House, Jaishankar said that the issue would be fully resolved once Pakistan vacates Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
He further stated, “We have done a good job addressing most of the problems in Kashmir. In my view, the abrogation of Article 370 was an important step.
After that, restoring development, economic activities, and social justice in Kashmir was the second step.
The high voter turnout in the recent elections was the third step.
Now, we are just waiting for the part that is illegally occupied by Pakistan. When that is returned, I assure you that the Kashmir issue will be fully resolved.”
