Pakistan terms India's domicile law in IoK 'reprehensible'

• FO statement said this is another illegal step by India to settle non-Kashmiris in IoK by changing the domicile laws.

Rejecting the new domicile law in occupied Kashmir, Pakistan termed India's action 'reprehensible' saying that the neighbor took advantage of the situation as the world is busy fighting ongoing coronavirus pandemic. 

In a press release issued on Thursday by the Foreign Office (FO), Pakistan said that the 'so-called Jammu and Kashmir Reorganization Order 2020 is another illegal step by India to settle non-Kashmiris in IoK by changing the domicile laws.

The press release continued that this act by Indian government is a continuation of its illegal and unilateral steps since August 5, 2019 towards Kashmiris. The Kashmiris, FO added, have rejected the law and will never 'accept such blatant usurpation of their fundamental rights and attempts to change their demography and distinct identity'.

Pakistan called on the international community and United Nations to take notice and hold India accountable for its persistent violations of international law. The statement reiterated that Pakistan will continue to highlight India's terrorism in IoK.

"No matter what its tactics, India will never be able to break the will of the Kashmiri people. Nor will India succeed in its nefarious designs to subjugate the Kashmiris against their wishes," statement concluded.
