New Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday said that Kashmir is India's internal issue and there is no room for Pakistan or any other country to intervene.
The Congress leader said this is despite the fact that he disagreed with the government on many issues. Rahul Gandhi also said that violence in Kashmir is instigated by Pakistan.
"I disagree with this Govt. on many issues. But, let me make this absolutely clear: Kashmir is India's internal issue and there is no room for Pakistan or any other foreign country to interfere in it," he said on Twitter.
"There is violence in Jammu & Kashmir. There is violence because it is instigated and supported by Pakistan which is known to be the prime supporter of terrorism across the world," he added.
This comes after Pakistani minister for human rights, Shireen Mazari, said she has a written a letter on the Kashmir issue to 18 UN Special Procedures mandate-holders. In her letter, which is part of the Pakistani propaganda effort on Kashmir, Mazari has claimed that even Rahul Gandhi had noted that people are dying in Jammu and Kashmir.
Mazari also posted the full text of her letter to the UN body on Twitter. She says in the letter: " ...acts of violence have even been acknowledged by mainstream politicians, such as the Leader of the Congress Party, Mr. Rahul Gandhi who has noted, 'people dying' in Jammu and Kashmir, in light of events 'going very wrong there'."
