Pakistan rejects Indian remarks on Bilawal’s press stakeout in Germany

Islamabad, The Gulf Observer: Pakistan Sunday rejected the unwarranted remarks made by the Official Spokesperson of the Indian Ministry of External Affairs on the recent Joint Press Stakeout of the Foreign Ministers of Pakistan and Germany, during the official visit of Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari to Berlin.

The Foreign Office in a statement said, while highlighting the centrality of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute, both the Foreign Ministers agreed that there was a role and responsibility of the international community as well as a need for intensified efforts from the United Nations, with regards to a peaceful and just resolution of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute. While the views expressed by the Foreign Ministers elucidated the growing urgency and concern in the international community on the Kashmir dispute, the MEA’s gratuitous remarks have exposed the desperation of a country that finds itself increasingly isolated on the issue of its illegal occupation of Jammu and Kashmir and the reprehensible human rights violations being perpetrated by its ruthless occupation force in the occupied territory.

India’s proclivity to hoist the bogey of cross-border terrorism whenever there is a call for increased scrutiny of its unlawful occupation and brutality in Jammu and Kashmir, is well known.

The Foreign Office said, “Pakistan urges the international community, particularly human rights and humanitarian organizations to condemn India’s barbaric state-terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir and ensure that Kashmiris are given their right to self-determination as enshrined in the relevant UNSC resolutions and as per their own wishes.”
