India Stands Firm: Rejects Turkish President's Statements on Kashmir

India has strongly protested against comments made by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan regarding Kashmir during his visit to Pakistan. The Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson, Randhir Jaiswal, reiterated that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India, rejecting any foreign interference in its internal matters.

In a firm diplomatic move, India has rejected remarks made by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan concerning Kashmir. The comments, delivered during Erdogan's visit to Pakistan, were labeled as 'unacceptable' by New Delhi, which summoned the Turkish ambassador to lodge a strong protest.

The Ministry of External Affairs, through its spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal, emphasized India's unwavering stance on Jammu and Kashmir, asserting its status as an integral part of the country. Jaiswal expressed that no foreign nation possesses the right to comment on India's internal affairs.

Criticism was also directed towards Pakistan's alleged use of cross-border terrorism, described by Jaiswal as a key threat to the region. Erdogan had stated that the Kashmiri issue should be resolved through dialogue, aligned with UN resolutions and the aspirations of Kashmiris, a position India finds objectionable.
