Pakistan asks India to implement UNSC resolutions on J&K

Pakistan says India has no right to object to the references made to Jammu and Kashmir in Pakistan-China Joint Statement of June 8. This was stated by Foreign Office Spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch in response to media queries regarding the statement made by the Indian Ministry of External Affairs on June 13. The Spokesperson said it is an established fact that Jammu and Kashmir is an internationally-recognized disputed territory. The dispute has been on the agenda of the UN Security Council for over seven decades. She said the relevant Security Council resolutions clearly stipulate that the final disposition of the State of Jammu and Kashmir will be made in accordance with the will of the people expressed through the democratic method of a free and impartial plebiscite conducted under the auspices of the United Nations. In that backdrop, the Indian claims over Jammu and Kashmir are totally unfounded and misplaced. The Spokesperson said India should not mislead the international community about the China -Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), which is a flagship developmental endeavour, agreed upon by two sovereign nations. She said instead of making baseless claims about CPEC, India should implement, at the earliest, the relevant UN Security Council resolutions on Jammu and Kashmir. Source: Radio Pakistan
