In its response, Pakistan strongly rejected the announcements by the Indian government regarding the Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, and said that it will exercise all possible options to counter the illegal steps.
The Foreign Office Spokesperson Dr Mohammad Faisal said that no unilateral step by the Indian government can change this disputed status as enshrined in the United Nations Security Council resolutions, nor will this ever be acceptable to the people of Jammu and Kashmir and Pakistan.
