Pak actions can’t camouflage illegal occupation of GB: India

The entire state of Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India by virtue of its accession to India in 1947,he said. Any action to alter the status of any part of the territory under the “illegal occupation of Pakistan has no legal basis whatsoever,and is completely unacceptable,” he said.

“Pakistan’s actions regarding Gilgit-Baltistan in the past few months cannot camouflage its illegal occupation of part of the state of Jammu and Kashmir,nor can they hide the denial of basic rights to the people in that part for the past six decades,” the spokesman said.

The newly-elected “Chief Minister” of Gilgit-Baltistan Mehdi Shah had said that the people of the area had decided their accession to Pakistan after getting freedom from ‘Dogra rule’ and now the region has become the fifth province of Pakistan and has no connection with Kashmir.
