9:55 am: EAM Dr. S Jaishankar, in New York: Because you had a provision (Article 370) which stated essentially local ownership of property, there were no investments from outside. A lot of economic changes you see in the rest of India, the businesses you see, they're past Kashmir. What was actually meant to help Kashmir ended up in a way where the bridge became a barrier. It had political&eventually national security consequences. Lack of development, an opportunity created a sense of alienation - alienation to separatism, separatism used for terrorism. It (abrogation of Article 370) drew a reaction from Pak&China. I think for Pak, a country which created an industry of terrorism to deal with Kashmir issue, is a reaction of anger, frustration in many ways as you've built an industry over a long period of time. I think the Chinese misread what was happening there. I went a few days after the legislation to China & explained to them that as far as they were concerned, nothing had changed. India's boundary had not changed, the Line of Actual Control had not changed.
