This territory is today referred to as Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK). India’s position has consistently been that Pakistan’s control over this region is not legally valid but rather the outcome of wartime circumstances. Therefore, India’s position has been that meaningful dialogue and terrorism cannot proceed simultaneously. India’s position remains unequivocal: national sovereignty is non-negotiable. India’s claim over PoJK is not merely a political assertion; it is rooted in its historical interpretation, constitutional position and enduring national commitment.
