New Delhi, June 3 -- India on Tuesday rejected a reference to Jammu and Kashmir in a joint statement by Pakistan and the European Union (EU), with the external affairs ministry saying the region is an "inalienable part" of the country and urging those with "no locus standi" to refrain from commenting on such matters.
The joint press communique, issued after a strategic dialogue between EU and Pakistan in Islamabad on Monday, had contained a reference to the "issue of Jammu and Kashmir" and "Russia's war against Ukraine" in the same paragraph, and both sides backed the "resolution of conflicts" through dialogue and diplomacy.htc
