"Pak Game Plan To Paint Apocalyptic Scenarios": S Jaishankar On J&K Move ndtv.com

Describing the decision to end special status to Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370 as a "long-Dawaited" step and the "right thing" to do, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Wednesday said it was expected that "the decision would not be uncontested," given Pakistan's "deep investments" in fueling terrorism and separatism in Kashmir.
"What we've done, was long awaited. In my view, it was the right thing to have been done. It should have been done many years earlier," he said before a Washington audience.

"At the moment, given the fact that there have been such deep investments made by Pakistan in Kashmir, both in terrorism and in a kind of separatism… we don't expect this to be uncontested," the Foreign Minister said at an event organized by a top American think tank, The Heritage Foundation.
