SRINAGAR: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Subramanian Swamy on Thursday said that there is no scope for the United Nations’ mediation in Kashmir issue and the world body should see that Pakistan doesn’t “encourage terrorism”, media reports said.
Addressing his first press conference at UN headquarters, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Wednesday had said that his recent meetings with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif were targeted at initiating dialogue between the two neighbours to resolve the issue of Kashmir.
Swamy said Kashmir is a part of India and so there is no question of any sort of negotiation. “Kashmir is a part of India. There is nothing to negotiate. Only thing that the UN needs to see is that Pakistan does not encourage terrorism. There is nothing else to be done. So, there is no scope for UN mediation in the case of Kashmir,” Swamy said.
