Foreign OfficePakistan rejects Indian Defence Minister’s unwarranted comments regarding Gilgit-Baltistan

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: Pakistan has categorically rejected the Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh’s unwarranted comments regarding Gilgit-Baltistan (GB).

In a statement on Tuesday, the Foreign Office Spokesperson Zahid Hafeez Chaudhri said that India has no locus standi whatsoever on the issue — historical, legal, or moral.

The Spokesperson said that gratuitous repetition of false claims by the RSS-BJP leaders, one after the other, for political point-scoring can neither change facts nor can it draw attention away from the reprehensible human rights violations being perpetrated against the Kashmiri people by Indian occupation forces in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).
