The situation in Kashmir is not normal even after a year, now the US has also expressed concern over the Kashmir issue

Washington Thursday, August 6, 2020

In the first year of repealing Article 370, which gives special status to Jammu and Kashmir, China has said that India's move in Jammu and Kashmir is illegal and unacceptable to us. At that time, it was widely believed that the US would be on India's side, but now the US has changed its tune and the US Parliamentary Committee on Foreign Affairs has said that the situation in Jammu and Kashmir has not improved even after one year. The United States exhorted India to uphold democratic values. The US House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs wrote a letter to Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishankar. "We are pleased with the ongoing cooperation between India and the United States on a wide range of issues, from defense to the environment," the letter said. Due to bilateral relations, we are concerned about the situation in Kashmir. One year after the Indian government repealed Article 370, the situation in Jammu and Kashmir has not returned to normal.

"We are aware of the challenges posed by defense and terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir and are ready to work with your government to address this issue," the letter added. At the same time, the relationship between India and the United States is based on the values ​​of democracy and freedom that we must continue to uphold.

This year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that India strengthens the key to unity among the many in relations between the United States. We look forward to further strengthening and advancing the relationship between India and the United States, "the letter said, adding that political analysts believe that in the letter, the United States expressed China's views on Jammu and Kashmir.

However, while expressing concern over Kashmir, the US noted that strong ties between the US and India are needed at a time when India is enduring China's aggressive stance.
