Pakistan cannot take Kashmir to ICJ: Sushma Swaraj


New Delhi, Jun 5 (PTI): India today said Pakistan cannot take Kashmir to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and asserted that the issue must be resolved bilaterally.

India wants to settle all issues with Pakistan through dialogue, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj said, but also made it amply clear that talks and terror cannot go together.

Swaraj was addressing a press conference on completion of three years of the government.

The minister said there was no flip-flop on part of the government in handling Pakistan.

"Pakistan cannot take Kashmir issue to International Court of Justice. Kashmir issue can only be resolved bilaterally," she said.

She was replying to a question on reported remarks of Pakistani law officer that Islamabad will take the Kashmir issue to ICJ.

"We want to resolve all issues with Pakistan bilaterally but talks and terror cannot go together," the minister said.

    Kashmir belong to Kashmiris. Until 1947 Kashmir was a Independent sovergin State with it's own majority muslim population, Government and King. India was not existed until 1947. India and Pakistan were created with merger of hundreds of Independent, sovergin states and British held teritories. It should be the democratic choice of all Kashmiri people to choose it's distiny with out the interference of Pakistani or Indian Governments.

    While Kashmir was an independent kingdom at the time of independence, the king of Kashmir willingly chose to join the Indian Union. Kashmir was not annexed through military force. Pakistan’s claim on Kashmir is solely based on religion, as majority of the population is Muslim. In that case India’s Muslim population is larger than the total population of Pakistan. Why Pakistan does not invite all Muslims in India to come and settle in Pakistan?

    The problem is both ( India and Pakistan) governments DO NOT WANT TO SOLVE some issues.
    From Indian side Kashmir Issue, Ayodhya Ram Mandir Issue etc. They want to keep these issues pending in order to use them for vote bank, or divert the attention of public from core issues.
