JAMMU, Sept 20 — The Union Minister of State for Defence Production and Supplies, Mr Harin Pathak, has said Kashmir being an integral part of India was non-negotiable.

Speaking at a function held in connection with the birth anniversary of Pandit Prem Nath Shastri, a renowned religious scholar and astrologer today, Mr Pathak said India’s cultural essence and strength owed its roots in Kashmir. He blamed obliquely Pakistan for having ruined this culture by aiding militancy.

Dr Agnishekhar, Chairman, Panun Kashmir, paying tributes to Pandit Prem Nath Shastri said Islamic fundamentalists had forced ethnic cleansing in Kashmir. He contested the impression that Pandits had fled from the valley for greener pastures.

Senior RSS leader Indresh Kumar and academicians pledged to defeat Pakistani machinations in Kashmir. They said strengthening India’s interest in Kashmir was the best tribute to Pandit Prem Nath Shastri.
