The only issue of dispute between India and Pakistan as far as Kashmir is concerned is the illegal occupation of Pakistan-administered Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan by Pakistan, the government said on Thursday.
Union Minister Jitendra Singh reiterated India's demand that Pakistan should vacate illegal occupation of these areas.
Singh's sharp remarks came in response to Pakistan High Commissioner Abdul Basit favouring resolution of Indian-administered Kashmir dispute as per the"aspirations of Kashmiris".
Talking to reporters outside Parliament, Singh said"Today if there is any issue between India and Pakistan on J&K, it is only the illegal occupation by Pakistan, whether it is Pakistan-administered Kashmir or Gilgit-Baltistan". He also added,"How it can be freed from Pakistan's occupation and made a part of the Indian republic...that is the only issue now".
