| [Daily Excelsior] India today lashed out at Pakistain for "inciting and supporting" terrorism in Jammu and Kashmire and instead asked it to vacate its illegal occupation of Pakistain-occupied-Kashmire (PoK). In a sharp reaction over anti-India rallies being held in Pakistain and other statements emanating from there over the situation in Kashmire, External Affairs Ministry said India strongly condemns encouragement and support to UN-designated Ministry Spokesperson Vikas Swarup also said that in view of the threats of marches and protests at the High Commission of India in Islamabad, Pakistain should ensure full safety and security of Indian officials and their families there. "We have seen reports about rallies, events and statements related to J&K in Pakistain and PoK over the last two days. We have also noted that the events were led by UN- designated terrorists, who had in the past protested the elimination of dreaded ... who is no longer with us, and won't be again... and Taliban leader Akhtar Mansour in Pakistain. "India strongly condemns the encouragement and support which such "We once again ask Pakistain to stop inciting and supporting violence and terrorism in any part of our country and refrain from its deplorable meddling in our internal affairs in any manner," the Spokesperson said. Asserting that the observance of ’Kashmire’s Accession to Pakistain Day’ exposes Pakistain’s longing for the territory of J&K, Swarup said,"India demands that Pakistain must fulfil the obligation to vacate its illegal occupation of PoK." India also asked Pakistain to stop "misleading the international community and Kashmiris through meaningless exercises such as the so-called elections today in PoK which Pakistain ironically calls ’Azad’ (free). |
