In yet another strongly worded rebuttal given at the United Nations HQ in New York, India on Wednesday the 8th of March 2023 stated that Jammu and Kashmir remains its integral part.

The Ministry of External Affairs rep, Ms Jagpreet Kaur while talking part at he 17th meeting of the 52nd Regular Session of Human Rights at the UN HQ stated – “We reject the factually incorrect and unwarranted references to India in the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC)) statement. The entire territory of Union territories of J & K and Ladakh is an integral and inalienable part of India. OIC has lost its credibility by taking a blatantly, partisan and factually incorrect approach on this issue,” the MEA representative said at the United Nations.

She said India denies the baseless allegations.
The response by India came after Pakistan’s foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari recently mentioned “occupied” Jammu and Kashmir several times while speaking about violence and crimes against women in his remarks to the Council debate on women, peace and security held under Mozambique’s Presidency for this month, on the eve of International Women’s Day.
On Wednesday Jagpreet Kaur, speaking at the UN meeting further said, “It is chronicle that Pakistan’s own institutions, legislations and policies over the course of seven decades have denied its population and the people in the territories under its control. These truths have obliterated their hope of true democracy, freedom, equality, tolerance and social justice.”
She said it is especially true for the people in Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Sindh who have been politically repressed and persecuted. Non-discrimination remains a far cry in today’s Pakistan.
