A day ahead of the first anniversary of the stripping of statehood of Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Tuesday, 4 August unveiled a new map of the country that includes the whole of Kashmir.
“Today, we are introducing the new map of Pakistan before the world. This new map has been endorsed by Pakistan’s Cabinet, Opposition and the Kashmiri leadership. This map endorses the hopes and beliefs of the people of Pakistan. This map endorses the unfulfilled wishes of the people of Kashmir and Pakistan. This map nullifies the illegal step that India took on 5 August last year with regards to Kashmir (Abrogation of Article 370). Starting today, this will be the official map of Pakistan,” Khan said while addressing the media.
Congratulating Khan’s government and the people of Pakistan, Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said that the map challenges India’s “illegal claim” on Kashmirt and its people.
“This is that map which was only talked about by Pakistan governments behind closed doors. Today, our government has revealed that map to the entire world and shown it whare Pakistan stands. This map includes Kashmir, Azad Kashmir, Gilgit Baltistan, the areas that are considered disputed and the ones that the people of Pakistan have been wanting to be resolved. India releaseed a map on 5 August last year and made fun of itself and it’s people in front of the world.”
This map will lead the way for the resolution of the Kashmir issue, he said.
