New Delhi : The Vice President of India M Venkaiah Naidu on September 24, 2019, asserted that Kashmir was a settled issue as every inch belongs to India and there was nothing more to discuss.
Inaugurating Platinum Jubilee Celebrations of BHS Higher Education Society, in Bengaluru, Naidu said that the dilution of Article 370 was a national issue and not a political issue as it concerned the unity, safety, security and integrity of the nation.
Pointing out that elections were being regularly held in Jammu and Kashmir and MPs, MLAs and Sarpanchs to local bodies were getting elected, he said the reorganization of the Jammu and Kashmir was an internal matter. “We don’t want to interfere in the internal affairs of any country and we don’t want anybody else to interfere in our affairs,”Naidu added, according to a PIB release.
Criticizing a neighbouring country for aiding, abetting, training and funding terror, Naidu said that India always believed in having peaceful relations with all countries, including her neighbours.
