Pak rejects India's statement

Islamabad, Aug 9 (PTI) Pakistan Monday rejected
India's statement accusing it of stoking violence in Jammu and
Kashmir, saying that the contention was "too simplistic and
delusive".
Foreign Office spokesman Abdul Basit made the
remarks while responding to the comments from Indian side
accusing Pakistan of fomenting the unrest and violence in
Jammu and Kashmir.
Basit said that by accusing Pakistan, India is "not
only insulting the indigenous and legitimate struggle of the
people of Jammu and Kashmir, but also betraying its lack of
seriousness towards resolving" the dispute.
"Unless India musters the courage and acknowledges
that the soul of self-determination can never be killed, its
Kashmir policy will remain rudderless," Basit said.
Pakistan will continue extending diplomatic and
moral support to the people of Jammu and Kashmir "until their
legitimate aspirations are realised", he said. PTI RHL
