Pakistan on Friday rejected the Indian move for inclusion of the Azad Jammu and Kashmir, and Gilgit-Baltistan in Indian TV weather bulletin. Responding to media queries, Foreign Office spokesperson Aisha Farooqui said that like the so-called "political maps" issued last year by India, this move is also legally void, contrary to reality, and in violation of the relevant United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolutions.
"This is another mischievous Indian action in support of a spurious claim and further evidence of India's irresponsible behaviour. No illegal and unilateral steps by India can change the "disputed" status of Jammu and Kashmir, recognised as such by the international community including the United Nations," she said.
She said that such moves by the Government of India cannot prejudice the inalienable right to self-determination of the people of Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
"Pakistan would urge India not to make baseless assertions and to abstain from misleading the world community through unfounded claims on regions that constitute internationally recognized disputed territories," she added.
