India Friday hit back at Pakistan for describing slain Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani as martyr and announcing its plans to observe July 19 as black day to express solidarity with people of Kashmir.
MEA Spokesperson Vikas Swarup, in a press release, said that India is dismayed at the continued attempts by Pakistan to interfere in our internal matters. He reiterated that Pakistan or any other external party has no locus standi on the Kashmir issue.
“Continued glorification of terrorists belonging to proscribed terrorist organisations makes it amply clear where Pakistan’s sympathies continue to lie,” Swarup said.
Accusing Pakistan of seeking to derive political mileage out of Kashmir unrest, Swarup said India unequivocally rejects the decision taken by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s cabinet today.
Sharif today chaired a cabinet meeting, where he declared Wani as martyr.
“Pakistan would continue to extend moral, political and diplomatic support for Kashmiris in their just struggle for right to self-determination,” Sharif said.
The prime minister directed all the relevant departments to highlight the Kashmir issue at international fora.
