Former Prime Minister and President of the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PMLN), Shehbaz Sharif has categorically rejected the recent decision of the Indian Supreme Court regarding the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
In a strong statement, Shehbaz Sharif stressed that this decision by the Indian Supreme Court holds no validity just like the one made on August 5, 2019, by the same Indian Supreme Court.
The Indian supreme court on Monday ruled that the Modi government acted lawfully when it revoked the UN-recognized autonomy and disputed status of the state of Jammu and Kashmir and brought it directly under control of the center.
The former Prime Minister emphasized, “This decision of the Indian Supreme Court is a clear violation of United Nations resolutions, and constitutes a breach of international laws and amounting to an international crime on the part of the Indian Supreme Court.International laws and Security Council agreements stand firm on recognizing Jammu and Kashmir as a disputed region. Neither the Indian Supreme Court nor the Indian government possesses the authority to nullify these international agreements”.
Shehbaz underscored that the disputed status of Jammu and Kashmir at the international level remains unchanged by the statements of the Indian Supreme Court. He accused the Indian Supreme Court of serving as a mere tool for the policies of the BharatiyaJanata Party (BJP).
Highlighting past instances, he pointed out that the Indian Supreme Court had previously made an unlawful decision regarding the Babri Masjid. He firmly believed that this recent decision cannot undermine the sacrifices made by the Kashmiris; instead, it will only fuel a more robust struggle for freedom in the Indian-occupied Kashmir.
