Stop bloodshed in PoJK & immediately vacate all Indian territories under its illegal occupation: India to Pakistan

By  News On Air   Aug 05, 2026

India today advised Pakistan to stop the bloodshed in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, take credible, verifiable, and irreversible action against terror networks operating from its soil, and immediately vacate all Indian territories under its illegal and forcible occupation. In response to media queries regarding comments made by Pakistan Foreign Minister on the so-called Youm-e-Istehsal, External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said the world is not fooled by these orchestrated spectacles. India has categorically rejected attempts by Pakistan to observe the so-called Youm-e-Istehsal.

Mr Jaiswal said the Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh are, have always been, and shall forever remain an integral and inalienable part of India. He stressed that the constitutional changes made on 5th August, 2019, are entirely an internal matter of India. These decisions have brought unprecedented socio-economic development, good governance, and democratic empowerment to the people of the region. The spokesperson said Pakistan has no locus standi to comment on matters that are strictly internal to India.

Mr Jaiswal said Pakistan’s desperate attempts to peddle falsehoods are intended solely to deflect international attention from its own dismal human rights record and its status as the global epicenter of terrorism. He added that the international community is currently witnessing the brutal suppression of fundamental rights in PoJK. Recent weeks have seen Pakistani security forces resort to lethal violence, targeted killings, and draconian bans to silence peaceful civil rights protests led by the local populace. The spokesperson pointed out that such state-sponsored violence against unarmed civilians exposes the profound hypocrisy of the Pakistani establishment.
