India today asked Pakistan to stop the bloodshed in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, take credible, verifiable and irreversible action against terror networks operating from its soil, and immediately vacate all Indian territories under its illegal and forcible occupation.
Responding to media queries on remarks by Pakistan’s Foreign Minister on the so-called Youm-e-Istehsal, External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said the world is not fooled by such orchestrated spectacles.
He said India has categorically rejected Pakistan’s attempts to observe the so-called Youm-e-Istehsal.
The spokesperson said the Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh are, have always been, and shall forever remain an integral and inalienable part of India. He added that the constitutional changes made on August 5, 2019, are entirely an internal matter of India.
Jaiswal said these decisions have brought unprecedented socio-economic development, good governance and democratic empowerment to the people of the region. He added that Pakistan has no locus standi to comment on matters that are strictly internal to India.
