Pak summons India's Deputy High Commissioner over Kashmir issue

Islamabad is battered by New Delhi's historic move to reorganise Jammu and Kashmir and has been attempting to raise the issue on the international forums also.

Islamabad: Pakistan on Sunday summoned India's Deputy High Commissioner Gaurav Ahluwalia over recent developments in Jammu and Kashmir following the abrogation of Article 370.

Earlier in the day, Pakistan's foreign ministry said that it 'categorically rejected' New Delhi's "portrayal of normalcy in Jammu and Kashmir."

Islamabad is shocked by India's historic move to reorganise Jammu and Kashmir. Pakistan has gone on a diplomatic overdrive criticising New Delhi's decision and demanded international intervention in the issue, which has strongly been opposed by India.

The country has found itself completely isolated on the international forums, after being snubbed at the United Nations Security Council, as well as by countries like Russia, France, and the US.

New Delhi has also repeatedly maintained that its decision on Kashmir is strictly an internal matter and also advised Islamabad to accept the reality.
