India rejected Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide’s remarks on Kashmir after his talks with Pakistan Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar in Islamabad. External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh are integral and inalienable parts of India. Jaiswal said the international community should focus on alleged atrocities in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and its use for cross-border terrorism. He also said India’s position on keeping the Indus Waters Treaty in abeyance had not changed. New Delhi says the treaty will remain suspended until Pakistan credibly and irrevocably ends support for cross-border terrorism. India took the step after the Pahalgam terror attack, which killed 26 civilians.
