Opposition National Conference today termed as "ridiculous" Union minister Jitendra Singh's statement that there was no such thing as the Kashmir issue.
NC state spokesman Junaid Mattu said in a statement
that Kashmir was a core issue of various bilateral diplomatic engagements between New Delhi and Islamabad.
Mattu also asked the MoS PMO to review various statements made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Rajnath SIngh that "accepted" the need to resolve the Kashmir issue.
Singh had said that there was a need to "change the discourse" around Jammu and Kashmir as there is no such thing as the Kashmir issue, stressing that the only "point of debate" is retrieving Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK).
