Pakistan has again started talking about statehood of Jammu and Kashmir

The relations between India and Pakistan do not seem to be improving. In February, the two countries had agreed to strictly abide by all ceasefire agreements on the LoC. It was believed that now the relationship between the two countries would be slightly better. On Wednesday too, Pakistan had indicated to improve relations by approving the import of sugar and cotton from India, but later the decision on import approval was overturned. Pakistan only shows its true color, now once again Pakistan has started singing the melody of Kashmir.

Pakistan is once again talking of giving full statehood status to Jammu and Kashmir. In August 2019, India through a bill in the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha rejected the status of the special state that Jammu and Kashmir had got. Many provisions of Article 370 were abolished from here and Article 35A was repealed completely. After which Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh were given the status of separate union territories.

Prime Ministers Narendra Modi and Imran Khan have also written to each other, Khan said, in response to Modi's letter, an "enabling environment" was needed for constructive and result-oriented dialogue, which gave importance to the "atmosphere of trust" Emphasized "it" is devoid of terror and hostility.

Thave has come after a considerable deterioration in relations, following New Delhi's decision to do away with the special status accorded to Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370. In August 2019, the Center did away with the 35A, a special provision that barred outsiders from buying land for property, and divided the state into two union territories.

"We have pointed to Article 371, which provides special protection to many states in the North-East," said a senior Pakistani official familiar with the back channel talks, who did not want to be identified. Negotiations between the national security advisors of India and Pakistan continue unquestionably, although Moed Yusuf, Khan's special representative on security, has denied the talks.
