Reacting to the use of the term Indian-administered Kashmir by the US, the Ministry for External Affairs has said that it affirms India's position that the likes of Syed Salahuddin have been indulging in cross-border terrorism.

Indian-administered J&K- Term used in context of Pak sponsored terror says MEA

The reaction comes in the wake of the Congress criticising the government for staying mum and not objecting to the US reference to "Indian- administered Jammu and Kashmir." The term was used in the statement designating Hizbul Mujahideen chief Syed Salahuddin as a global terrorist.

"Shocking that US government order on Syed Salahuddin refers to 'Indian Administered J&K'. No protest from Modi government. Complicit sell-out?" AICC chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala tweeted.

The MEA said that a similar term was used in the State Department's yearly reports on terror in 2010-13 in the context of cross-border terror perpetrated on India. India's consistent position is that the entire state of Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India and this is a well known fact, the MEA also said.
