Mehbooba also called for engagement with the highly publicized China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). “J&K has the potential to become a gateway to Central and South Asia and should become a model state for SAARC cooperation.

The sarcastic remark was made in reference to the ongoing standoff between India and China over border demarcation issues dating back to 2020, when the armies of the two countries engaged in violent clashes that left people dead. two sides.
On Thursday, People’s Democratic Party (PDP) leader Mehbooba Mufti challenged the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to raise India’s national flag in ‘China-occupied territories’, apparently referring to the area across the Line of Actual Control (LAC) – a loose dividing line that separates Indian-controlled territory from Chinese-controlled territory.
The remarks came days after the BJP staged a “Tiranga (the tricolor)” from Srinagar, the capital of Jammu and Kashmir, to Kargil in the Ladakh region, to mark the 23rd anniversary of the 1999 Kargil war between India and Pakistan.
“You [BJP] politicized the [Indian] flag. If you really want to raise the flag, raise it in 1000 square kilometers of our Chinese occupied territory. Take back the territory and raise the flag there,” Mehbooba, who was the last head of state of the former state of Jammu and Kashmir with the BJP backing her as an alliance partner.
Mehbooba also said that unless the Kashmir issue is resolved, it will remain as an obstacle to the party’s ambition to elevate India to a leading position in the world.
“India can become vishwaguru [world leader] because it has democracy and secularism to deserve it. But you are destroying it. You should put your own house in order and only then can this dream come true,” Mehbooba said.
SAARC is an eight-member group that includes India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Afghanistan.
“India is still unable to lead its own neighbors like Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Nepal and other SAARC countries. India should realize that the way to become vishwaguru [world leader] goes from SAARC and not from G7, G20 or Quad,” Mehbooba added.
Mehbooba also called for engagement with the highly publicized China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
“J&K has the potential to become a gateway to Central and South Asia and should become a model state for SAARC cooperation. Why can’t this part of Kashmir become strategic for the world like Pakistan and China have done for their respective parts of Kashmir,” she said.
