S Jaishankar
New Delhi: Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK) is part of India and New Delhi expects to have physical jurisdiction over it one day, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Tuesday. "Our position has, is and will always be very clear on PoK, that it is part of India and we expect one day we will have physical jurisdiction over it," he said while addressing the 100-day press conference of the Ministry of External Affairs.'
Asserting that India's position on Kashmir has been clear since 1972 and is not going to change, he said, "beyond a point, don't worry too much about what people will say on Kashmir. There is a complete predictability about my position... At the end of the day, it is my issue. On my issue, my position has prevailed and will prevail." The government has maintained henceforth talks with Pakistan will be only about PoK and not Kashmir.
