Pakistan refutes India's 'baseless, fallacious' claim on Gilgit-Baltistan: FO
|
[The News (Pak)] Pakistain on Monday refuted India's "baseless and fallacious" claim about Gilgit-Baltistan, the Foreign Office said in a statement after summoning a senior Indian diplomat.
In its statement, the Foreign Office said Pakistain "clearly conveyed that the Indian claim over the occupied state of Jammu and Kashmir
.jpg "Kashmir") ...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir . The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there....
as an 'integral part' of India had no legal basis whatsoever".
"The entire state of Jammu and Kashmir is a 'disputed' territory and is recognized as such by the international community," it added, noting that the dispute originated from India's "forcible and illegal occupation" of Kashmir in 1947 and that that was a violation of both the international law and the Kashmiri people's rights.
The Kashmir dispute, the FO added, is "the longest outstanding item on the agenda of the UNSC".
"No subsequent illegal and unilateral Indian actions could or have altered the status of Jammu and Kashmir as a disputed territory," the statement highlighted, noting that only the "faithful implementation" of the United Nations
...an idea whose time has gone...
Security Council's (UNSC) resolutions was the solution.
The UNSC resolutions "recognize the Kashmiris’ inalienable right to self-determination through the democratic method of free and impartial plebiscite under the UN auspices", the FO said.
"Pending the resolution of the dispute, any unilateral Indian actions in IOJ&K were illegal."
In addition, India's unilateral move on August 5, 2019, to scrap Kashmir's special status under the constitution was "in violation of the 4th Geneva Convention, were illegal and in clear violation of the UNSC Resolutions".
