Post abrogation of Article 370, a temporary provision in the Constitution of India, terrorist bosses sitting across the Line of Control have made multiple attempts to disrupt peace in J&K but all their attempts have been thwarted due to security forces working in close coordination with each other and the people.

External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said that the references were "unwarranted". Adding that India has consistently rejected such statements, Bagchi said that the union territories of J&K are and will remain India's integral part. Commenting on the China-Pakistan-Economic Corridor (CPEC), he said India has consistently conveyed "protests and concerns" to China and Pakistan as it includes projects in the "sovereign territory" of India.

Addressing the Infantry Day function here, the defence minister said that India is committed to implement the 1994 Parliament resolution about retrieving the part of J&K under illegal occupation of Pakistan. "Pakistan government is sowing the seeds of hatred in PoJK and time is not far when people there will resort to mass rebellion.

It was around 1931 that the downtrodden populace of the Valley rose to a man against the repressive rule of the Maharaja. They were led by a man who was for all practical purposes a nationalist, though disturbing evidence over time points otherwise.
