Pakistan rejects the political maps of India “displaying the Jammu and Kashmir region and seeking to depict parts of Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Jammu and Kashmir within the territorial jurisdiction of India”, said a statement issued by the Foreign Office on Sunday. A day earlier, the Indian Ministry of Home Affairs issued a notification detailing the boundaries of the so called union territories of occupied Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, and also issued a new political map of India. The new map now shows areas under AJK inside Ladakh, and not in Jammu and Kashmir as depicted earlier. The statement by the Foreign Office on Sunday said the maps issued by India on November 2 were “incorrect, legally untenable, void and in complete violation of the relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions”. “Pakistan rejects these political maps, which are incompatible with the United Nations’ maps,” it added. “We reiterate that no step by India can change the ‘disputed’ status of Jammu and Kashmir recognised by the United Nations. “Such measures by the Indian government cannot prejudice the inalienable right to self-determination of the people of Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir.” The statement added that Pakistan would continue supporting the legitimate struggle of the people of occupied Jammu and Kashmir for exercising their right to self-determination in accordance with the UNSC resolutions. Pakistan and other countries, including China and Turkey, as well as the United Nations have raised concerns regarding India’s decisions. Last month, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights had expressed “extreme concern” over human rights abuses in occupied Kashmir and asked the Indian authorities to “fully restore” human rights in the occupied territory. As of today, the lock down has been in place for more than 90 days.
