ISLAMABAD: Pakistan completely rejected the 'fake news' appearing in a section of Indian media about alleged transfer of foreign fighters to the IIOJK, and termed it as a part of the Indian propaganda against the indigenous freedom movement of the Kashmiri people for their inalienable right to self-determination.
"Pakistan completely rejects concoctions based on 'fake news', in a section of the Indian media, alleging transfer of foreign fighters to Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK)," Foreign Office spokesperson Zahid Hafeez Chaudhri said.
He said that such fabrications are part of the Indian propaganda against indigenous freedom movement of the Kashmiri people for their inalienable right to self-determination - a right enshrined in international law, and the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolutions.
"Such Indian ploys are doomed to fail again. By spreading such falsehoods, India can neither cast a shadow on the legitimate struggle of the Kashmiri people for freedom from illegal and inhuman Indian occupation nor can it escape censure by the international community for the gross and systematic violations of human rights being perpetrated by the Indian occupation forces in IIOJK," he said.
He added that the completely baseless allegations of so-called 'foreign fighters from Syria' serve only to further illustrate the virulent anti-Pakistan tirade that is the hallmark of the RSS-BJP dispensation.
Instead of wasting more time in peddling falsehoods and fake news, he added that India would be well-advised to comply with its international, legal, and moral obligations and let the Kashmiris exercise their inalienable right to self-determination as enshrined in international law and the relevant UN Security Council resolutions.
