Pakistan raised the question of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir on the sidelines for the organization of Islamic Cooperation Meeting during the United Nations General Assembly 80 session. In a foreign office declaration, Pakistan-of Azerbaijan, Türkiye, Saudi Arabia, and Niger- “unshakable support to the unmistakable right of Kashmiri people to self-determination.”
“Emphasized that some of the Indian leaders’ unjustified claims and irresponsible statements about Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan pose a threat to regional peace.”
This can be referred to the recent statements of Indian Defense Minister Rajnath Singh on Monday. The Minister suggested that Operation Sindhoor was not completed, but merely paused, with a possible “second and third phase of Operation Sindhoor.” He claimed that India will take control of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK).
Operation Sindhoor was India’s military act against Pakistan after an attack in Pahaldam. India basically held Islamabad responsible for the attack and launched a military reaction that killed 51 Pakistanis. In response to India’s attack, the Pakistani army launched Operation Bunyanum Marsoos. Pakistan and India accepted a ceasefire brokered by US President Trump.
