NEW DELHI: The idea of India would be “incomplete” if Jammu and Kashmir is removed from it, former Union minister Salman Khurshid said today, asserting that the country cannot suffer another division after the 1947 partition.
The former foreign minister made the remarks at a panel discussion — Why is Kashmir Burning? — held in the capital, which he said, sought to “objectively discuss” the issues related to the Kashmir conflict and find a way forward.
“India is less about territory and more about an idea. And, that idea essentially includes Jammu and Kashmir. And Jammu and Kashmir minus from India means we will have to redefine India in some form. But the idea of India becomes incomplete if Kashmir is removed from it,” Khurshid said. (AGENCIES)
