The decision to bifurcate Jammu and Kashmir into two union territories and to scrap Article 370 it does not violate any border or international line of control, the Indian Ambassador to US Harsh Vardhan Shringla said on Monday.
"It is important to distinguish between truth and distortion and what you have heard is a great deal of the latter," affirmed Shringla in an interview to Fox News. "India has reorganised the state of Jammu and Kashmir into two union territories with legislative assembly and council. It does not in any way impinge the border of Jammu and Kashmir and international line of control and is, therefore, an internal matter of the country" the envoy said.
