PTI, Aug 5, 2019, 3:54 PM IST

Islamabad: Pakistan on Monday strongly rejected the Indian Government’s announcements on Jammu and Kashmir, saying it will exercise all possible options to counter the “illegal” and “unilateral” steps.

The Indian government on Monday abolished Article 370 that gives special status to Jammu and Kashmir and moved a separate bill to bifurcate the state into two separate union territories of Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh.

“No unilateral step by the Government of India can change this disputed status, as enshrined in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolutions. Nor will this ever be acceptable to the people of Jammu and Kashmir and Pakistan,” it said.

Pakistan strongly condemns and rejects the announcements made by the Indian Government regarding Jammu and Kashmir, it said.

“As the party to this international dispute, Pakistan will exercise all possible options to counter the illegal steps,” it said.

Pakistan reaffirms its abiding commitment to the Kashmir cause and its political, diplomatic and moral support to the people of Jammu and Kashmir for realisation of their inalienable right to self-determination, the statement said.
