Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad today maintained that he will not retract comments he made about India's handling of the Kashmir and Jammu region conflict despite a threat of a boycott on Malaysian palm oil by India.

"We speak out our mind and we don't retract and change," he told journalists at the Parliament lobby today.

Mahathir was asked if he would retract and apologise for his statement made at the UN General Assembly last month where he urged India to abide by the UN resolution on the region, which, in turn, raised anger in India.
