India Rejects Pakistan's Youm-e-Istehsal Observance, Affirms Kashmir as Integral Part
India strongly rejected Pakistan's observance of Youm-e-Istehsal, calling it a political absurdity and malicious propaganda. The Ministry of External Affairs emphasized that Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh are integral parts of India, with constitutional changes in 2019 bringing socio-economic development and democratic empowerment. India accused Pakistan of deflecting attention from its human rights record and supporting terrorism, citing recent violence against protesters in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir. The MEA urged Pakistan to end violence and vacate Indian territories under its control.
