Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti on Saturday ruled out any third party mediation on Kashmir issue.
Reacting to former Chief Minister and National Conference (NC) president Farooq Abdullah’s demand for a third party intervention, Ms. Mufti said, “There can be no place for a third party intervention in Jammu and Kashmir.”
Mr. Abdullah on Friday sought the help of the U.S. and China “to mediate over the Kashmir issue”.
“Let America and China mind their own business. Look at the places America has interfered in, be it Afghanistan, Syria, or Iraq. While China has its own problems to deal with in Tibet. We have the Lahore Declaration and the Shimla Agreement with us,” Ms. Mufti said.
