Right education methodologies at the grass root level, exposes students to technologies that will impact them in their growing years
"The international community understands by and large what our objectives are. This (Article 370) was a temporary provision. I don't see this in any analysis... When I meet foreign leaders, I give a history of this temporary provision. Since it was temporary, it had to end at some point of time," he said, while responding to a question whether India's image had been affected due to developments in Jammu and Kashmir.
The minister added that this provision was used by "a few" for their own vested interests and it affected social justice, development and the lack of development was "feeding separatism" which was being exploited by Pakistan.
While presenting the 100-day report card of the Modi 2.0 government, Jaishankar said that the incumbent government had only two choices, whether to go with what happened over 30 years or to change the policy which did not work.
He said that there was growing understanding around the world why the special status of Jammu and Kashmir was abolished.
To a question on Pakistan-administered Kashmir, the minister said: "Our position on PoK is, has always been and will always be very clear. Pakistan-administered Kashmir is part of India and we expect, one day, we will have physical jurisdiction over it."
He was asked about the possibility of his meeting Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi on the sidelines of UN General Assembly later this month.
"If I meet Pakistan Foreign Minister on sidelines of UNGA, we will see if that happens."
On where Prime Minister Narendra Modi will meet his Pakistan counterpart Imran Khan, Jaishankar responded: "I don't comment on principals. Not only on this issue, even on China. Look at climate of relationship, that gives an answer."
When pointed out that Qureshi has said that there is no point in talking to India, the minister said the problem is that Pakistan is "only doing talking and not doing anything against terrorism... Question today is not whether what you talk about. It goes back to what I said earlier - it is for any neighbour, not only India. Show me any country which can accept that its neighbour indulges in terrorism and it goes on.
