NEW DELHI: India on Thursday said it has “very strongly” taken up with the UK the issue of a conference on Kashmir being allowed to be hosted in London which is scheduled to be addressed by Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi.
External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said India was expecting the British Government to address its concerns on the issue, adding the conference is “very clearly” intended to undermine unity, sovereignty and territorial integrity of India.
It is learnt that the conference will be held inside the British Parliament complex on February 4.
“We have taken it up with the UK very strongly. We hope that they will understand our objections to the proposed conference and take appropriate action,” Kumar said replying to a question on the issue during a media briefing.
He said the UK was aware about India’s sensitivities in the matter. (AGENCIES)
