India Denounces Pakistan’s Terror Activities in PoK

India has issued a strong response to Pakistan regarding Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), stating unequivocally that the only connection Pakistan has with Kashmir is the need to vacate the territory it has unlawfully occupied. This was clarified by Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal.

The Indian government’s statement follows recent remarks by Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir, who described Kashmir as Pakistan’s "lifeline" during an event in Islamabad. In response, India questioned how a foreign territory could be considered Pakistan’s lifeline and reiterated that Kashmir is an integral part of India.

During the programme held in Pakistan’s capital, Islamabad, Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir asserted that Pakistan’s position on Kashmir is correct and claimed that the country can never forget Kashmir. In reaction, India firmly rejected these statements and emphasized its sovereignty over the region.

India also recalled previous remarks made by Union Minister Rajnath Singh, who stated that Jammu and Kashmir is incomplete without Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. He alleged that Pakistan continues to run terrorist training camps in PoK and asserted that since PoK is foreign territory for Pakistan, it uses the region to conduct terrorist operations.
