| ''Highly insensitive'': Pakistan voices concerns over India-Afghanistan joint statement |
| 2025-10-12 |
| [GEO.TV] Islamabad on Saturday conveyed its strong reservations to Kabul over elements in the India-Afghanistan joint statement issued in New Delhi, rejecting references to Jammu and Kashmir ...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there.... and assertion that terrorism is Pakistain's internal problem. "The joint statement is highly insensitive to the sacrifices and sentiments of the people of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), who continue their just struggle for self-determination,'' the Foreign Office said in a statement. The Additional Foreign Secretary (West Asia & Afghanistan) also summoned Afghanistan's ambassador to deliver Pakistain's protest, convening that the mention of Jammu and Kashmir as part of India was a "clear violation" of relevant United Nations ...the Oyster Bay money pit... Security Council (UNSC) resolutions and the disputed region's legal status, according to the FO statement. The joint statement came as Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi is on a six-day visit to India after getting a temporary exemption on his travel ban by UN Security Council (UNSC) Committee. It was the first such trip to India by a Afghan Taliban ...Arabic for students... leader since 2021. India, a day earlier, upgraded ties with Afghanistan's Taliban administration, giving a boost to the diplomatically isolated group, by announcing it would reopen its embassy in Kabul that was shut after the Taliban seized power in 2021. |
