IISLAMABAD —Pakistan has categorically rejected India's baseless assertions regarding the status of Jammu and Kashmir which are contrary to internationally recognized facts. Foreign Office Spokespersons Sajjad Haider Khan stated this while responding to media queries regarding the statement issued by India's Ministry of External Affairs on the map of disputed Jammu and Kashmir region.
India's unilateral actions and continued illegal occupation cannot alter the internationally recognized disputed status of Jammu and Kashmir. Jammu and Kashmir dispute remains one of the oldest unresolved, internationally recognized disputes on the agenda of the United Nations Security Council.
“The relevant UN resolutions stipulate that its final disposition must be made in accordance with the relevant Security Council resolutions and the will of the Kashmiri people, expressed through a free and impartial plebiscite under UN auspices,” read the official statement.
