In response to a query on the special meeting of the Cabinet of Pakistan held today on the recent developments in Jammu and Kashmir, the Official Spokesman stated:

"India completely and unequivocally rejects in entirety the decisions adopted by the Cabinet of Pakistan on the situation in Jammu and Kashmir.

We are dismayed at the continued attempts by Pakistan to interfere in our internal matters, where, we reiterate, Pakistan or any other external party has no locus standi. Continued glorification of terrorists belonging to proscribed terrorist organizations makes it amply clear where Pakistan’s sympathies continue to lie. 

The self serving actions by Pakistan in the last few days to derive political mileage out of the recent developments in J&K follow planned infiltration and terrorism aimed at India from across the Line of Control and the International Boundary. The attempts in Pakistan by various players to ingratiate themselves to the people of J&K in the run up to the so called elections in territories under Pakistan’s illegal occupation will not succeed.

We hope that Pakistan will desist from further interfering in India’s internal affairs and destabilizing the situation in South Asia through support to terrorism and other subversive acts. 

We also hope that Pakistan will respond constructively to India’s initiatives for peace and normalizing the India Pakistan relationship.”
