Pakistan’s faux pas while trying to draw international attention on Kashmir

Live Mint  

New Delhi: Pakistan, which has been trying hard to highlight Jammu and Kashmir’s disputed status at international fora since India scrapped the state’s special status, scored a self-goal describing it as an "Indian state”—something New Delhi has been stressing on. The faux pas was committed by Pakistan’s foreign minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi while speaking to reporters after making a special address at the UN Human Rights Council on Tuesday. Pakistan usually refers to Jammu and Kashmir in its official communication as “India Occupied Kashmir” in a bid to keep alive the region’s disputed status. Rarely, it also uses the formulation “Indian administered Kashmir.” The crux of New Delhi’s argument since the revocation of Article 370 on 5-6 August has been that Kashmir is a state of India and therefore any changes made to its status is an internal matter.
