‘Unwarranted, No Locus Standi’: India Rejects Turkish President Erdogan's Kashmir Remarks at UNGA
India said Erdogan’s Kashmir remarks were unwarranted and reiterated that no external party has standing on the issue.
- On Tuesday, Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal rejected Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's references to Jammu and Kashmir at the 81st United Nations General Assembly, asserting the matter pertains strictly to India's territorial integrity and sovereignty.
- Erdogan had called for South Asian disputes, including Kashmir, to be addressed through dialogue under the United Nations Charter framework; his remarks came shortly after Turkey, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia signed the Mecca Joint Defence Agreement on August 7.
- New Delhi maintains that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral and inalienable part of India, with officials stating 'no external party has any locus standi' on the issue and rejecting third-party interference in internal affairs.
- Indian officials reiterated that 'talks and terror cannot go together,' citing cross-border attacks including 26/11 and Pulwama; they noted the Shimla Agreement commits India and Pakistan to resolving bilateral issues without external mediation.
- The diplomatic friction reflects shifting regional alliances, with the Mecca Joint Defence Agreement binding Turkey, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia in mutual defense while India's firm stance on sovereignty remains codified in long-standing bilateral agreements.
