NEW DELHI: Union minister M Venkaiah Naidu today termed as “totally absurd” and “unacceptable” Pakistan's linking of every issue to Kashmir, saying it is an integral part of India and there is “no question of any bargain” on it.
He also asked the neighbouring country to “give up” Kashmir once and for all.
“Pakistan should give up (Kashmir) once and for all. Moreover, linking everything to Kashmir is totally absurd and unacceptable. Kashmir is an integral part of India and there is no question of any bargain on it,” Naidu said on the sidelines of an event here.
Noting that India was taking every step to improve relations with its neighbour and restart the dialogue process, he said “But in spite of these elements in Pakistan…If they go on doing this–aiding, funding and training terrorists– this is not going to help the situation.”
