ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – The Foreign Office has rejected what it called “unnecessary and baseless statements” regarding Azad Jammu and Kashmir, terming them misleading and detached from facts.
According to the Foreign Office spokesperson, certain UK-based individuals and groups have made comments on Kashmir that ignore historical realities and are not based on accurate information.
The spokesperson said Pakistan and Azad Kashmir’s internal matters should not be subjected to external interference, adding that such remarks distort facts and reflect a lack of understanding of the region’s historical context.
He further stated that Pakistan is a sovereign and democratic state that firmly believes in the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries.
The spokesperson added that Pakistan expects the same principle of non-interference to be respected by others, and urged the British government to discourage individuals supporting proscribed organisations from making such statements.
He also called on the UK authorities to caution such elements and ensure they refrain from activities that could undermine diplomatic understanding and bilateral relations.
