Pakistan rubbishes cross-border infiltration charges levelled by India 

Islamabad has rubbished the allegations of cross-border infiltration levelled by Delhi in a bid to hoodwink the international community into ignoring Indian brutalities in occupied Kashmir.

Responding to the media queries about the comments by Indian External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar at the Hoover Institution, the Pakistani Foreign Office spokesperson rejected any cross-border infiltration.

Peace and security in the region were threatened on account of India’s barbaric acts and refusal to resolve the Jammu and Kashmir dispute in accordance with the UN resolutions, the FO stated in a press release.

It added India’s illegal and unilateral actions of August 15, 2019, in the occupied Valley were against international law and manifestly anti-peace while that movement against Indian occupation and its state-sponsored terrorism is indigenous and is likely to continue till India decides to act in accordance with the UNSC resolutions mandating a free and impartial plebiscite in the occupied territory.

Since 1947, the Jammu and Kashmir dispute has been the core outstanding issue between Pakistan and India, awaiting settlement as per international legitimacy. Rather than regurgitating insinuations against Pakistan, India will be well advised to go for meaningful and result-oriented engagement for the resolution of the Kashmir dispute and any other issues.
