Once India triggers development in Jammu and Kashmir, all of Pakistan's plan for the last 70 years against the state would come to a naught, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar told a top US think tank here.

The minister also pointed out to the Washington audience that the current suspension of the mobile network in the Kashmir valley is aimed at preventing the misuse of internet and social media for radicalising and mobilizing anti-Indian forces and to ensure that no loss of life occurs during the transition to the development phase.
