New Delhi: Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, Congress' Lok Sabha MP, on Tuesday sought to know from the Centre if J&K was an internal matter or a bilateral issue.

"You say it is an internal matter, but it is being monitored by the UN since 1948; is it an internal matter? We signed the Shimla Agreement and Lahore Declaration, was that an internal matter or bilateral?" he asked. Union minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said, "How can you say that Kashmir is not our integral part and it is not our internal issue? Sonia Gandhi was in Parliament, Rahul Gandhi was there, but no one pulled him up for these comments," he said.
