Let China, US mind their own business: Mufti on third-party intervention

July 22, 2017 15:01

A day after National Conference chief Farooq Abdullah said India should approach third parties like the US and China to mediate in the Kashmir issue, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti today said those two foreign nations should "mind their own business".

"Let China and America mind their own business. If you want to have talks, then keep America, Turkistan, and English-tan out," she said.

"What is the situation in Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq today? Does Farooq sahab wants same thing to happen to us?," she asked.

Farooq Abdullah had on Friday said, "For how long are you going to wait? Sometimes, you have to pull the bull by its horns."

"The way is to have a dialogue. India has so many friends all across the world. They can ask them to act as a mediator. US President Trump himself said that he wants to settle Kashmir problem. China also said that it wants to mediate in Kashmir. Somebody has to be approached," he said.

China on July 13 said it was willing to play a "constructive role" in improving relations between India and Pakistan, but the Ministry of External Affairs today rejected any external help.
