External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar while addressing a press conference on the 100 days of the new government asserted that India's position has always been that Pakistan-occupied Kashmir is very much a part of India and that New Delhi expects to have physical jurisdiction over it in the future.

"Yes, our position on PoK is, has been and will always be very clear. PoK is part of India and we expect one day that we will have physical jurisdiction over it", said Jaishankar.

While addressing the issue of talks between the two countries Jaishankar stated that, ”Part of the problem is that Pakistan is only doing talking. It has not been doing anything other than this.”

“They think that nice words are an answer to the real problem, and the real problem is the dismantlement of this industry (cross border terror) that they have created”, he added.
