E.U. team meets Lok Sabha Speaker

By Our Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI, JUNE 21. The Lok Sabha Speaker, Somnath Chatterjee, today emphasised that Jammu and Kashmir was an integral part of India and would remain so. Pressure of the people would ultimately lead to solutions to the problem and cited the Punjab case.

Mr. Chatterjee said this while responding to a pointed query from a member of the European Union Parliamentary delegation, led by John Cushnahan, that called on him here.

The Speaker said that in Punjab people were fed up with terrorism and decided their fate for the better through the democratic process. "People of Kashmir also are beginning to react in a similar fashion and the situation there is becoming normal,'' he said, a Lok Sabha Secretariat release said.

The seven-member EU Parliamentary delegation is on a visit to study the situation in Jammu and Kashmir from June 22 to 24. It had earlier visited Pakistan-occupied Kashmir during December last year.
