Maps can’t alter disputed status of Kashmir: Maleeha

Pakistan has reiterated that “Indian tactics to depict Jammu and Kashmir as part of India” couldn’t change the fundamental fact that the State is a “disputed territory,” a media report said on Wednesday.

This was stated by Pakistan’s representative at the United Nations Maleeha Lodhi in an interview with APP, Radio Pakistan reported.

She was commenting on Indian External Affairs Ministry spokesman’s claim that Jammu and Kashmir is integral part of India and that the proposed Geospatial Information Regulation Bill is an entirely internal legislative matter of India.

“Jammu and Kashmir is a disputed territory and numerous UN Security Resolutions attest to this. India’s claim is a travesty of history, morality, international law and facts on the ground,” Lodhi was quoted as saying in the report.
