Can talk with Pak, not �terroristan�: Jaishankar

Update: 2010-09-15 00:00 GMT

NEW YORK, Sept 25 - India has no problem talking to Pakistan but it has a problem talking to �Terroristan�, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said here, asserting that Islamabad has created an entire industry of terrorism to deal with the Kashmir issue.

Jaishankar, addressing at cultural organization Asia Society on Tuesday, said when India decided to revoke Article 370 and bifurcate Jammu and Kashmir into two union territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, it drew a reaction from Pakistan and China.

Pakistan downgraded diplomatic relations with India and also expelled Indian High Commissioner after New Delhi revoked the special status given to Jammu and Kashmir on August 5.

China had voiced �serious concern� over the situation in Kashmir, saying �the parties concerned should exercise restraint and act with caution, especially to avoid actions that unilaterally change the status quo and exacerbate tension.� � PTI
