Pakistan can only ‘Reject ‘ Kashmir’s Merger with India, whereas India can Remove the Radcliffe Line Itself
India has repeatedly stated to the whole world, United States included that Jammu and Kashmir was, is and shall forever remain an integral part of the country. No power nothing earth, singly or combines can take Jammu Kashmir away from India.
India has also repeatedly told Pakistan that it desires normal neighbourly relations with Pakistan in an environment free of terror, hostility and violence. In case Pakistan persists then India has both the Will Power and the Capability to “ resolve “ the problem forever by ensuring that Pakistan Occupied Kashmir is feed from the clutches pf Pakistan at the earliest. Next ensuring that people of Baluchistan too get their freedom from Pakistani Occupation Forces.
Pakistan can keep shouting that Jammu and Kashmir is an internationally recognised dispute, the resolution of which has been on the agenda of the United Nations since 1948. Pakistan’s Foreign Office has been making this Statement since 1947.Whereas India has categorically even rejected United Nations role in this bilateral issue, where the pending agenda is handing over of Pakistan Occupied Kashmir by Govt of Pakistan to Govt of India.
Pakistan says that the statement made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at a public rally in Gujarat, saying that his ‘resolved Kashmir issue’ remark shows how oblivious the Indian leadership is of the ground realities in the region. Pakistan also stated that the remark is misleading and false.”
A day earlier while addressing a public rally in Gujarat’s Anand district, PM Modi had stated that he had been successful in resolving the issue of Kashmir. Modi stated that Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel deftly resolved issues related to the merger of other princely states, but “one person” could not settle the Kashmir issue.
“As I am following the footsteps of Sardar Saheb, I have values of the land of Sardar and that was the reason I resolved the problem of Kashmir and paid true tributes to Sardar Patel,” Modi said.
Relations between India and Pakistan have been strained over cross-border terrorism emanating from Pakistan into Kashmir. Bilateral ties nosedived after India abrogated Article 370 of the Constitution, revoking the special status of Jammu and Kashmir and bifurcating the State into two Union Territories on August 5, 2019.
Following India’s decision, Pakistan downgraded diplomatic ties with New Delhi and expelled the Indian envoy. Trade ties between Pakistan and India have largely been frozen since then.
Pakistan Foreign office has now stated that “Instead of making delusional statements about having resolved the dispute unilaterally, the Indian leadership must deliver on their commitments to the Kashmiris and to the world and ensure that the people of Kashmir are accorded their inalienable right to self-determination ”.
The existing ground reality is that while Pakistan can keeping repeating the above statement, with only pinpricks of terrorism, India getting fed up, sooner than later has the Will and the Capability to just derecognize the Radcliffe Line itself and establish the Akhand Bharat.
