"The whole of Jammu and Kashmir belongs to India. You will never be able to make this heaven on earth a terror hell," Sushma Swaraj said.
In a strong attack on Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif for his statements on Kashmir, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj told him that his dream of the state becoming a part of his country "will not be realised even at the end of eternity". Taking umbrage at Sharif's statement that "Kashmir will one day become Pakistan", she said in a statement that this "delusional though dangerous dream" was the reason for Pakistan's "unabashed embrace and encouragement to terrorism".
"The whole of Jammu and Kashmir belongs to India. You will never be able to make this heaven on earth a terror hell," she said. India's reaction came amidst provocative statements issued on near-daily basis by Pakistan government and Sharif.
Noting that in the last few days, leadership of Pakistan, including its Prime Minister has praised Burhan Wani, a wanted terrorist Commander of the banned terrorist organisation Hizbul Mujahideen, as "martyr", Swaraj wondered did he not know that he was carrying an award of Rs 10 Lakh on his head because he had perpetrated heinous crimes including murder of elected representatives of local bodies and security personnel.
"Even more condemnable than these deplorable attempts from across our border to incite violence and glorify terrorists is the fact that these attempts have been undertaken by Pakistan's state machinery in active partnership with UN-designated terrorist Hafiz Saeed and other leading terrorists belonging to internationally proscribed organisations," she said.
No need to find Pakistan's complicity: BJP
Asserting that there is no need for evidence of Pakistan's complicity in the Kashmir issue as Nawaz Sharif is openly saying they will get it back, Union minister Jitendra Singh today claimed the world now agreed with India that the time has come to unite in the fight against the neighbouring country. "Now (Pakistani Prime Minister) Nawaz Sharif is openly saying we will get back Kashmir. They (Pak) are directly or indirectly claiming credit for (aiding and abetting) the ongoing insurgency and unrest. So, there is no need for any evidence now," he told reporters here.
The Union Minister of State (MoS), Prime Minister's Office was reacting to Sharif's remark yesterday that the day was not far when the struggle of the Kashmiris will meet with success and Jammu and Kashmir will be part of Pakistan. Singh said, "The United Nations too has said that it (Kashmir) is India's internal matter. Now, the world has come to acknowledge India's point of view (on Kashmir) and it is time for us to be united in the fight (against Pakistan)." He asserted that Pakistan's involvement in promoting terrorism in India has been evident on more than one occasion.
Responding to a question on Lashkar-e-Taiba leader Hafiz Saeed's claim that he had received a call from slain Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani, Singh said it amounted to an "open confession" which the entire world should take note of. The Union minister urged all the political parties to unite in the fight against Pak-sponsored terrorism.
