Pakistan says it will exercise all possible options to counter 'illegal steps' taken by India in IoK
 [DAWN] Pakistain on Monday said that it would "exercise all possible options to counter the illegal steps" taken by India regarding Indian-Indian Kashmiree (IoK).The comments came after Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government introduced plans to weaken the special rights of residents in occupied Kashmire, amid heavy deployment of security forces and suspension of phone and internet services in the valley. In a blurb, the Foreign Office (FO) strongly condemned and rejected the move by the Indian government, stressing that IoK was internationally recognised as a disputed territory. "No unilateral step by the Government of India can change this disputed status, as enshrined in the United Nations ...an idea whose time has gone... Security Council (UNSC) resolutions," read the statement. "The decision will never be acceptable to the people of IoK and Pakistain." "As the party to this international dispute, Pakistain will exercise all possible options to counter the illegal steps," the statement read while reaffirming Pakistain's commitment to the Kashmiri cause.
