New Delhi. The Ministry of External Affairs has recently issued a statement on the protests taking place in Pakistan occupied Kashmir. In this he has attacked the Government of Pakistan in PoK. The Foreign Ministry said that the protests in Pakistan occupied Kashmir are the result of the policies there. In PoK, people are being kept away from their resources. The system there is exploiting them. The Ministry of External Affairs clearly said that Pakistan Occupied Kashmir is and will remain an integral part of India.
The Foreign Ministry said that we have seen reports of protests in many areas of Pakistan occupied Kashmir. We believe that this is a natural outcome of Pakistan’s ongoing policy of systematic plunder of resources from areas under its illegal occupation. Such exploitative policies deprive local people of their rights over their own resources and the benefits derived from them. We reiterate that the entire Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh was, is and will always be an integral part of India.
On PM Narendra Modi’s recent statement of sending Indian envoy to Gaza on ceasefire during Ramzan, the Ministry of External Affairs said that NSA Ajit Doval had gone to Israel.

This meeting will be held in Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan.
