Pakistan on Wednesday categorically rejected the statement made by the Indian Ministry of External Affairs on Pakistan’s political map.
In a press release issued by Foreign Office, it was stated that through sophistry and obfuscation, India cannot create a smokescreen for its illegal and unacceptable actions in illegally Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir, including those taken since 5 August 2019.
It is preposterous for a country that is compulsively expansionist, and a brazen practitioner of state-terrorism, to level charges against others.
India has been in illegal occupation of parts of Jammu and Kashmir since 1947 and has continuously violated UN Security Council resolutions for decades. Despite its brutal suppression of Kashmiris for over 72 years, India has been unable to force them into submission.
Pakistan’s position remains clear and unambiguous. The solution of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute lies in the realization of the Kashmiris’ inalienable right to self-determination through a free and impartial plebiscite under the auspices of the United Nations.
