Indian diplomat walks out of SAARC meet over PoK minister's presence

New Delhi/Islamabad, Dec 10 (PTI): An official of the Indian High Commission in Pakistan staged a walkout of a SAARC meeting over the presence of a minister from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) at the event, according to source here.

Diplomat Shubham Singh, left the meeting to register India's protest over the presence of PoK minister Chaudhary Muhammad Saeed at the SAARC Chambers of Commerce and Industry meeting on the SAARC Charter Day in Islamabad on Sunday.

India considers Kashmir as its integral part and does not recognise any minister for Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).

In 2016, India had pulled out of the 19th SAARC summit that was to be held in Islamabad after the deadly terrorist attack on an Indian Army camp in Uri.

The summit was called off after Bangladesh, Bhutan and Afghanistan also declined to attend. No SAARC meeting has happened ever since.

India called off the foreign minister-level talks with Pakistan on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York in September after the brutal killing of policemen in Jammu and Kashmir and the release of a postage stamp by Pakistan that glorified Kashmiri militant commander Burhan Wani.

    Who cares ?
    If not now, next time.
    It's not like; there is no scope for a solution at all.
    Order more fighter jets. May be American F 22 or Rusian Sukhoi Su-57

    Very good move by the Indian counterpart. No wonder Imran Khan is frustrated and is biding time . He is eagerly hoping for a change in the Indian Govt , so he can have a muslim appeasing and pak loving leader in the Indian side. Imran can then claim that he is friends with Indians and go with his begging bowl around the world as a messiah of peace. We Indians should never let that happen.

    I don't think it is a good move by our diplomat. What is required is to sit and agree whatever is with us (Jammu and Kashmir) will continue to remain with us, and whatever is with Pakistan, let them continue to have, to resolve the issue.
    Pakistan cannot manage their existing area and they want our territory too, similar way we cannot manage whatever is with us, and we are opting have their part too.
