Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has reiterated that talks with Pakistan will only be about Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

Addressing Jan Jagran Sabha in Patna today, Mr. Singh said, root cause of terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir was Article 370 and 35A and these articles were scrapped for the development of the state. He slammed Pakistan for knocking the doors of the international community over India’s revocation of the same but no country is with Pakistan on the current issue.

The Defence Minister categorically said Pakistan had no claim on Kashmir. Mr. Singh said, Pakistan Prime Minister came to Pok and told his countrymen not to go to Indo-Pak border.

He said, it is good because if they do, they will not be able to go back to Pakistan. They should not commit the mistakes of repeating the mistakes of 1965 and 1971 war.
