Kashmir not an integral part of India: Abdul Basit

Pakistan has asked New Delhi to introspect on its policies instead of blaming Islamabad for the violence in the Occupied Kashmir. Foreign Office spokesman Abdul Basit said that Jammu & Kashmir issue was an international dispute and subject of several UN Security Council resolutions and India should not be dismissive of uprising in Kashmir.
Reacting to the Indian response to the Foreign Ministers statement on the situation in Indian Occupied Kashmir, the Spokesman said the response was evidently self-serving and, to say the least, callous to be dismissive of the widespread uprising of the Kashmiri people including youth and women against Indian occupation.
