Reference to J&K in US State Dept tweet disappointed Pakistan: Zahid Hafeez
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Foreign Office Spokesperson Zahid Hafeez Chaudhri has said we are disappointed to note the reference to Jammu and Kashmir in the U.S. Department of State s tweet regarding the resumption of 4G mobile internet in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
In a statement, he said the reference is inconsistent with the disputed status of Jammu and Kashmir as recognized by numerous United Nations Security Council resolutions and the international community.
The Spokesperson said Jammu and Kashmir is one of the oldest items on the agenda of the UNSC, which remains unresolved because of India s intransigence and unwillingness to implement the relevant UNSC resolutions and its own solemn commitments made to Pakistan, the Kashmiris and the international community.
He said the political and economic progress of the people of Jammu and Kashmir is inextricably linked to the realization of their desire for exercising the right to self-determination.
Zahid Hafeez said the international community, including the United States, must urge India to stop its consistent and systematic human rights violations in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
