Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday said Kashmir is India's internal issue and slammed Pakistan for instigating and supporting violence in Jammu and Kashmir.

His statement came after the Congress hit out at Pakistan for "mischievously" dragging the name of Rahul Gandhi in its alleged petition moved in the United Nations to justify its "lies" and misinformation on Jammu and Kashmir.

The opposition leader said that though he disagrees with the government on many issues, he is clear that Kashmir is an internal issue and there is no room for Pakistan to interfere in it.

"I disagree with this Govt. on many issues. But, let me make this absolutely clear: Kashmir is India's internal issue and there is no room for Pakistan or any other foreign country to interfere in it," he said on Twitter.

"There is violence in Jammu & Kashmir. There is violence because it is instigated and supported by Pakistan which is known to be the prime supporter of terrorism across the world," he added.

Party's chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said the "Congresshas noticed reports citing an alleged petition moved by Pakistani Government to United Nations on Jammu & Kashmir, wherein name of Shri Rahul Gandhi has been mischievously dragged to justify the pack of lies and deliberate misinformation being spread by Pakistan."
