India on Thursday lambasted Pakistan for "needlessly internationalising" the Kashmir issue, asserting it was not the main cause of tension between the two countries and that externally sponsored terrorism was the central issue.He had also raked up the Kashmir issue, calling it an "unfinished agenda of partition" and the main cause of regional tension.When asked about Pakistan President Mamnoon Hussain's comments on Wednesday that India was "running away" from talks, Swarup said, "The main cause for lack of peace and continued instability in our region is externally sponsored terrorism and Pakistan's repeated interference in internal affairs of India."We completely reject the insinuations by the vested interests against India which has rightful sovereignty over the entire state of Jammu and Kashmir.

We also stress that there are no global dimensions of the Kashmir issue except in the minds of those who seek to needlessly internationalise a bilateral matter.Replying to a question on China occupying parts of Kashmir, the MEA spokesperson said it is part of talks on boundary issue between the two countries.External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Vikas Swarup also said Pakistan needs to end its illegal occupation of parts of Jammu and Kashmir and stop interfering in India's internal matters."Hussain had said despite Pakistan's offer of joint-probe in the Pathankot terror attack, India was avoiding the talks.There are no global dimensions of the Kashmir issue except in the minds of those who seek to needlessly internationalise the matter.
