Pakistan has once again reiterated its principle opposition to India’s actions in Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) aimed at altering the demography of the disputed valley.
In a statement, Pakistan’s Foreign Office has once again reiterated country’s principle opposition to India’s illegal actions in the disputed valley.
We have noted with serious concern reports indicating that India might be plotting further division, bifurcation and demographic changes in the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) to perpetuate its illegal occupation. No new instrument of occupation shall have any legal effect, read the MoFA press-release.
India cannot change the disputed status of IIOJK, as enshrined in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolutions, nor can it force Kashmiris and Pakistan to accept illegal outcomes, it added.
India’s unilateral and illegal actions in IIOJK are violation of international law and the relevant UNSC Resolutions and that no new instrument of occupation shall have any legal effect.
Highlighting IIOJK’s status as a disputed territory, Pakistan has once again urged India to cease and reverse its unlawful and destabilizing actions, ensure full compliance with the UN Security Council resolutions, and refrain from any further steps that might imperil the regional peace and security in South Asia.
Additionally, Pakistan has also called upon international community, including the United Nations, world parliaments, international human rights and humanitarian organizations and global media to take immediate cognizance of the situation. India must be stopped from any further illegal action in the occupied territory.
The press-release also restated its commitment to provide all possible support to the people of IIOJK for realization of their inalienable right to self-determination aimed at ensuring a peaceful solution of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute in accordance with the UN Security Council resolutions and the wishes of the Kashmiri people.
