Pakistan rejects Indian remarks on GB elections

[Absar]

ISLAMABAD: Terming remarks by the spokesperson of the Indian Ministry for External Affairs about Gilgit-Baltistan elections as "unwarranted", Pakistan on Friday said the Government of India has no locus standi in the matter.

"We have seen the remarks by the Spokesperson of the Indian Ministry for External Affairs made today in which he has described the elections held in Gilgit-Baltistan yesterday as "just another cosmetic exercise intended to camouflage the fact of Pakistan's illegal occupation of areas of the state of Jammu and Kashmir."

"These remarks are unwarranted. The Government of India has no locus standi in the matter", Foreign Office Spokesman Abdul Basit said in a statement issued here Friday.

"As for Jammu and Kashmir dispute, it stems from India's refusal to implement the relevant Security Council Resolutions, which provide for a just solution of the dispute through the democratic method of a free and fair plebiscite", the statement added.

I don't understand why India is meddling in Pakistan's affairs -- terming of late elections as uncalled for. How does it related to IOK anyway? India's useless meddling doesn't make sense to me.

Gilgit-Baltistan are part of Kingdom of Jammu and kashmir, J& is internal part of india and Gilgit and baltistan are illegally occupied by Pakistan, so India has every right to look into those affairs.

@ Absar

Hope the highlighted part answers your question in your 2nd post

How is it an illegal occupation. Isn't it peculiar

India is following the footsteps of U.S. It's very badly after the adjoining areas just like U.S. was in case of Mexico

Nope. USA bought off part of Mexico and also defeated the Mexican army for the land which was formerly part of Mexico.

India and Pakistan went on a land grab after partition. Big difference in scenarios. Now they cry and hurl obscenities at each other saying "I was about to take that bit but you got there first "

Pakistan is an integral part of India, India is an integral part of British empire

Well, I don't understand the obsession behind this land grab thing since partition happened. GB has always been an integral part of Pakistan. There was no such argle-bargle at the time of demarcation too. How come it's integral part of India -- the J&K?

Even if I were to believe what you said is true, it does not mean anything like say - Poeple in J&K have been regularly voting for last 60 years and still pakistan does not accept them, how do you expect us to accept your elections in GB.
