"Our position on PoK has always been and will always be very clear. PoK is part of India and we expect one day that we will have the jurisdiction, physical jurisdiction over it," Foreign Minister Subrahmanyan Jaishankar said in a news conference.
Regarding Pakistan, EAM S Jaishankar said that the issue is not Article 370 but Pakistan’s terrorists. He emphasized that India must make the world realize this. He said that he will meet the Pakistani Foreign Minister on the sidelines of the 74th session of the UN General Assembly, which began on September 17.
S Jaishankar said that the bone of contention is not Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir but Pakistan-sponsored terrorism in the region.
"With regard to Pakistan, issue is not Article 370 but Pakistan's terrorists. We must make the world realise. Show me anywhere else in the world where any country conducts terrorism openly against its neighbour as part of what it considers its foreign policy," EAM S Jaishankar said in the press conference in New Delhi.
S Jaishankar said that number of minorities in Pakistan's Sindh province has come down in the past 70 years.
"What is happening now in Sindh [Pakistan] is not the only thing which has happened in past 100 days. I think if there is a human rights audit today in this part of the world, I can pretty confidently assert who'll come last in it," EAM S Jaishankar said.
"Regarding minorities in Pakistan, this isn't a new thing. Here's a country which is waxing eloquent about other nations. Look at their treatment of minorities, I think minority number has come down dramatically in the past 70 years to a point where they don't even put it out publicly anymore," S Jaishankar added.
