NEW DELHI, JUN 06 (DNA) –  India’s External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj has said that Pakistan cannot take the Kashmir issue to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) according to Shimla agreement and Lahore declaration.

Sushma gave this statement while responding to a question about Pakistani law officer’s statement in which he hinted at moving ICJ regarding Kashmir issue after India took Kulbhushan Jadhav’s case to the global court.
