India has criticized the Turkish President, Recep Tayyip
Erdogan’s derogatory remarks on Kashmir issue. Erodgan passed his critical
remarks during United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) session on September 22,
2020.
Hours after Erdogan’s
statements on the Kashmir issue in the UNGA, India's Permanent Representative
to the United Nations, TS Tirumurti, said Ankara should learn to respect the
sovereignty of other nations and reflect on its policies more deeply.
“His speech constitutes
gross interference in India's internal affairs and is completely unacceptable”,
Trimurti said. “We have seen remarks by President of Turkey on Indian UT of
Jammu and Kashmir. They constitute gross interference in India's internal
affairs and are completely unacceptable. Turkey should learn to respect the
sovereignty of other nations and reflect on its policies more deeply”, Trimurti
said through his Twitter handle. “We have seen remarks by the President of
Turkey on Indian UT of Jammu & Kashmir. They constitute gross interference
in India's internal affairs and are completely unacceptable. Turkey should
learn to respect sovereignty of other nations and reflect on its own policies
more deeply”, he added.
On day two of the
high-level UNGA, the Turkish President said, "The Kashmir conflict, which
is also a key point for the stability and peace of South Asia, is still a
burning issue”. In a pre-recorded statement, the leader said that it is
imperative to solve the issue of Kashmir through dialogue. "We are in
favour of solving this issue through dialogue within the framework of the
United Nations resolutions, especially in line with the expectations of the
people of Kashmir”, Erdogan added. In the last one year, Pakistan-ally Turkey
has used several platforms to raise the issue of Jammu and Kashmir. However,
India, time and again, has told the west-Asian country that Kashmir issue is an
internal matter of India. Last week, India had slammed Pakistan, Turkey and
Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) at the 46th session of the Human
Rights Council for their remarks on India's internal affairs.
