Stating that nothing can justify Pakistan's avaricioius efforts to covet territories of its neighbours, Gambhir said: In so far as India is concerned, Pakistan must understand that the state of Jammu and Kashmir is and will always remain an integral part of India. However much it scales up cross-border terrorism, it will never succeed in undermining India's territorial integrity.
