Islamabad: Pakistan has rejected and strongly condemned the unwarranted and totally unacceptable comments made by Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh in Jammu.
The Minister in his remarks distorted the well-established historical facts about the Kashmir dispute, leveled baseless allegations and hurled threats against Pakistan.
This is not the first time that a senior Indian politician has tried to cast aspersions on the legitimate, indigenous and just freedom struggle of Kashmiris.
However, provocative statements by Indian political figures cannot alter the reality of IIOJK. India would be well advised to introspect as to why the flame of freedom from the heart of Kashmiris has not been cooled down, despite imposing draconian laws, holding the entire Valley under military siege for decades, imprisoning thousands of innocent Kashmiris and their true representatives and cruel killing of over 100,000 Kashmiris.
India needs a reminder from history that the Jammu & Kashmir is an internationally recognized dispute that remains on the agenda of United Nations and its solution lies in the implementation of the relevant UNSC resolutions. Pakistan also calls upon international community to take practical steps to stop India from the continuing brutalization of the Kashmiri people and illegal attempts to change the demographic structure of IIOJK.
Pakistan is a proponent of regional peace and stability but at the same time, Pakistan is fully capable of thwarting any Indian aggressive designs. Web Desk
