India slams Turkey, Malaysia remarks on Jammu and Kashmir

Turkey was one of the first countries to protest the move alongside Pakistan.
India on Friday expressed ‘deep regret’ over the comments from the Turkish and Malaysian leadership in recent weeks about the situation in Kashmir. The spokesperson of the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) described the comments as “biased and incorrect”.

“India and Turkey are friendly countries. We, therefore, deeply regret that since August 6, there have been repeated statements by the Turkish Government on a matter completely internal to India,” said Raveesh Kumar. Kashmir has been in communication lockdown since August 5 when India ended the special status of the State and bifurcated it into two union territories. Turkey was one of the first countries to protest the move alongside Pakistan.
