Pakistan rejected on Sunday “political maps” issued by the Indian home ministry wrongly placing Jammu and Kashmir and parts of Gilgit-Baltistan within the territorial jurisdiction of India.
The maps issued a day earlier displayed occupied Jammu and Kashmir region as part of India. They also sought to depict parts of Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Jammu and Kashmir within the territorial jurisdiction of India.
The Indian government formally divided the occupied Jammu and Kashmir region Thursday into two union territories, Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, in accordance with its August 5 announcement revoking the state’s special status under Article 370.
The Foreign Office of Pakistan in its statement termed the maps “incorrect, legally untenable, void and in complete violation of the relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions”.
