SRINAGAR, India - India engaged in a diplomatic war of words with China over Kashmir on Thursday as it formally revoked the disputed state’s constitutional autonomy and split it into two federal territories in a bid to integrate it fully into India.
Pakistan, which claims the whole of Kashmir, has condemned the move and protesters took to the streets on its part of the territory. “The Indian government officially announced the establishment of so called Jammu Kashmir territory and Ladakh Union territory which included some of China’s territory into its administrative jurisdiction,” Geng said at a news briefing.
India’s foreign ministry spokesman rejected China’s comments and said Kashmir was an integral part of the country and that any reorganization of the state was an internal affair. Kumar said China was in illegal occupation of parts of Kashmir including Ladakh and had also illegally acquired some territories from Pakistan.
Both will be directly ruled by Delhi, and new lieutenant governors were sworn in at a high-security governor’s premises later on Thursday.
