Turkey's Involvement in Kashmir Conflict Sparks Concern and Condemnation from India

Turkey has recently taken steps to increase its involvement in the ongoing conflict in Kashmir, with the Turkish parliament establishing an official committee to focus on the region. This move has been met with concern and condemnation from the Indian government, which has long maintained that the issue of Kashmir is a bilateral matter between India and Pakistan, and that any third-party involvement is unacceptable.

The establishment of this committee by Turkey, a country with no direct involvement or stake in the Kashmir conflict, has been viewed as a provocation by India. This is not the first time Turkey has taken such a step. In the past, Turkish leaders have made statements in support of Pakistan and have criticized India's actions in the region.

This move by Turkey is seen as a violation of India's sovereignty and territorial integrity. India has always maintained that the issue of Jammu and Kashmir is a bilateral matter between India and Pakistan and there is no scope for third-party mediation. The Indian government has called on Turkey to respect India's sovereignty and territorial integrity and refrain from making any statements or actions that could further escalate tensions in the region.

Furthermore, the Indian government has also expressed disappointment over Turkey's move, as it comes at a time when India and Turkey have been working to strengthen bilateral relations. India and Turkey have had a long-standing relationship, with the two countries sharing cultural and historical ties. The Indian government's disappointment is also due to the fact that Turkey's move undermines the diplomatic efforts made by India to resolve the issues in the region through dialogue and diplomatic means.

In conclusion, Turkey's recent move to establish an official committee on Kashmir has been met with concern and condemnation from the Indian government. India views this as a violation of its sovereignty and territorial integrity, and has called on Turkey to respect its position
