Summary Foreign office says his remarks distort facts regarding the UN and internationally recognised Jammu and Kashmir dispute
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Pakistan has condemned the remarks by the Indian Defence Minister with regard to Jammu and Kashmir dispute as highly provocative and irresponsible.
Foreign Office spokesperson Tahir Andrabi in a statement issued here on Sunday said that the remarks by of the Indian Defence Minister in the context of Jammu and Kashmir are highly provocative and irresponsible.
Pakistan condemns the statements of the Indian Defense Minister in the strongest terms, he added.
“Pakistan condemns in the strongest possible terms the highly provocative and irresponsible comments by the Indian Defence Minister in the context of Jammu and Kashmir dispute.
“His statement not only distorts facts regarding the UN and internationally recognised Jammu and Kashmir dispute that remains on the agenda of the UN Security Council but also shows Indian government’s deliberate policy to threaten regional and international peace and security.
Such insinuations are an attempt to divert attention from India’s continued occupation of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu & Kashmir (IIOJK), its sponsorship of terrorism across the region, as well as its domestic instability,” the foreign office said.
While resorting to its misplaced rhetoric of aggression and belligerence, India must not underestimate the people and government of Pakistan’s unwavering resolve and determination to thwart any Indian adventurism as demonstrated by the entire Pakistani nation and its valiant armed forces during Operation Bunyan-ul-Marsoos last year, the foreign office added.
Pakistan urges the international community, in particular the United Nations, to take note India’s continued rouge behavior and to hold it accountable for its failure to uphold the relevant UN Security Council resolutions that guarantee the right to self-determination to the Kashmiris.
