Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Abhishek Banerjee, speaking at an Indian diaspora event in Malaysia, asserted that India should engage in dialogue with Pakistan only to reclaim Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK). Banerjee, part of an all-party delegation led by JD (U) MP Sanjay Kumar Jha, emphasized that past diplomatic efforts have failed, and India must adopt a firm stance on territorial sovereignty.
Key Highlights from Abhishek Banerjee’s Speech
- Reclaiming PoJK as the Sole Agenda: Banerjee stated that any future talks with Pakistan must exclusively focus on reclaiming PoJK, warning that continued engagement on other issues would allow terrorism to persist.
- Pakistan’s Alleged Support for Terrorism: He presented social media evidence showing high-ranking Pakistani military officials attending funerals of terrorists, reinforcing claims that Pakistan harbors extremists.
- Call for Economic Support to Kashmir: Banerjee urged the Indian diaspora to visit Kashmir, stating that strengthening its economy is the best response to Pakistan’s destabilization attempts.
India’s Diplomatic Strategy and Global Outreach
The all-party delegation, which has visited Indonesia, South Korea, Japan, and Singapore, is part of India’s global outreach following Operation Sindoor, a military response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack.
Future Outlook
Banerjee’s remarks signal a hardline approach toward Pakistan, reinforcing India’s zero-tolerance policy on cross-border terrorism. As diplomatic tensions rise, India’s stance on PoJK is expected to shape regional geopolitics in the coming months.
