Pakistan’s external affairs ministry mentioned, “the Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir is an internationally recognized disputed territory", and that no unilateral step by Indian government can change this disputed status, as enshrined in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolutions.
“This will never be acceptable to the people of Jammu and Kashmir and Pakistan.”
The statement added, “As the party to this international dispute, Pakistan will exercise all possible options to counter the illegal steps. Pakistan reaffirms its abiding commitment to the Kashmir cause.”
