Islamabad: Pakistan says India must reckon with its obligations under international law and the UN Charter rather than casting unwarranted aspersions on Azad Jammu and Kashmir. In a press release, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the people of Azad Jammu and Kashmir freely enjoy their civil and political rights and actively participate in shaping their democratic future. This commitment is rooted in both constitutional responsibility and a moral obligation to the people of Jammu and Kashmir. In contrast, the statement highlighted the grim situation faced by individuals in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK). The press release concluded with Pakistan’s belief that resolving the Kashmir dispute is crucial for lasting peace and stability in South Asia.
