India Rejects Pakistan's Remarks on Jammu and Kashmir at UN as 'Unwarranted'

India on [date] firmly rejected what it termed as 'unwarranted remarks' made by Pakistan during a United Nations session, reiterating that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India and its internal matter.

Addressing the UN, India's representative stated, 'Jammu and Kashmir was, is, and will always remain an internal matter of India.' The statement came in response to Pakistan's attempt to raise the issue of Kashmir on the international forum.

India has consistently maintained that the abrogation of Article 370 in August 2019 was a domestic decision aimed at integrating the region fully into the Indian Union. The government has stressed that all matters related to Jammu and Kashmir are to be resolved bilaterally under the Simla Agreement and the Lahore Declaration, with no scope for third-party mediation.

Pakistan, however, has continued to raise the issue at various international platforms, including the UN, calling for a plebiscite in the region. India has dismissed these calls as interference in its internal affairs.

This latest exchange took place during the [specific UN session, e.g., UN General Assembly or UN Human Rights Council]. India's firm stance reflects its long-standing position on the territorial integrity of the country.

The Indian delegation urged Pakistan to refrain from making baseless allegations and instead focus on addressing issues within its own borders, such as terrorism and human rights violations.

Observers note that such diplomatic confrontations are routine at UN forums, with both countries using the platform to articulate their respective positions on Kashmir.
