India dismissed Pakistan’s protest over US envoy Sergio Gor’s remarks on Jammu and Kashmir, reiterating that J&K and Ladakh are integral parts of India. MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal also defended the removal of temporary structures outside Pakistan High Commission, calling it a proportional response.
India on Friday dismissed Pakistan’s protest over US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor’s remarks that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India, saying there was “no reason” to comment on Islamabad’s frustration.
“I see no reason to comment on Pakistan’s frustration,” External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said at a media briefing.
Gor made the remarks during a visit to Jammu and Kashmir on Wednesday, describing the Union Territory as an important part of India.
Hours later, Pakistan’s Foreign Office summoned the US Charge d’Affaires in Islamabad and lodged a “strong demarche” over Gor’s remarks. Gor is also the Trump administration’s Special Envoy to South and Central Asia.
