In a fresh twist to the decades- old Kashmir dispute, the “president” of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir has said that talks can be held with India on any proposal for an independent State of Jammu & Kashmir.
“We are ready to consider the option, if India comes to the negotiating table and puts forward the idea of giving (Jammu & Kashmir) independent status,” PoK president Sardar Muhammad Yaqoob Khan has said.
“If India agrees to give (J&K) independent status, we can also think (along these lines),” he said during an interaction with journalists here.
