The Pakistani cabinet has approved a new political map of Pakistan, showing Jammu Kashmir-Ladakh-Junagadh as part of Pakistan.
Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, while giving himself information on Tuesday, said that the decision of the cabinet has been welcomed by the opposition parties and the Kashmiri (Pakistan-administered Kashmir) leadership.
Imran Khan said that 'Pakistan's new political map represents the aspirations of the people of Pakistan. Supports the ideological ideology of the people of Pakistan and Kashmir.
On this occasion, Imran Khan further said, "This political map is denied by the illegal step that India took in Kashmir on August 5 last year."
Imran Khan said that from now on Pakistan's schools, colleges and all offices will have the same official map of Pakistan which has been approved by the Pakistani cabinet on Tuesday.
India's response
India rejected this new political map of Pakistan and said that it has neither legal validity nor any credibility at the international level.
The Indian Foreign Ministry issued a statement saying, "We have seen the so-called" political map of Pakistan "which has been released by Prime Minister Imran Khan. , Which is a step taken in political stupidity. These ridiculous claims have neither legal validity nor international credibility. The truth is that these new efforts of Pakistan are only for the expansion of territory supported by cross-border terrorism of Pakistan. Confirms the reality of passion. "
On this occasion, Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mehmadu Qureshi said that the administrative map of Pakistan has been coming earlier (1949, 1976) but for the first time there has been a political map which used to be called Pakistanis in closed rooms, now it has been We are telling the whole world where Pakistan stands.
Sir Creek and Siachen also claimed
Shah Mahmood Qureshi said that in August last year, India issued a map showing Pakistan-administered Kashmir, Gilgit-Baltistan as part of India. Qureshi said that this step of India is completely against the bans of the UN Security Council.
Qureshi said that Pakistan believes that this entire area is disputed, whose solution is being sought.
Qureshi said, "The solution will come following the expectations of the Kashmiri and Pakistani people and the resolutions of the UN Security Council, which India has promised. A referendum will be held under the supervision of the United Nations to decide what the future of Kashmir will be." "
Pakistan Foreign Minister said that through this map, Pakistan has also rejected India's claims on Siachen Glacier and Sir Creek.
Qureshi said that this new political map of Pakistan gives a clear message to India and Kashmir that the Pakistani community was with the Kashmiris yesterday and is still with them today.
One year after the abolition of Article 370
On August 5 last year (2019), India had abolished the status of a special state to be given to Indian Kashmir under Article 370 of the Indian Constitution.
Apart from this, the state of Jammu and Kashmir was also abolished and converted into two union territories Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.
On the completion of one year of this decision of India, Pakistan has organized many special programs to show their support to the people of Kashmir administered by India.
Issuing a new map of Pakistan is also a part of that.
While presenting a new map on Tuesday, Imran Khan said that Kashmir has only one solution, to accept the UN resolutions.
Imran Khan said, "The UN resolution gives the people of Kashmir the right to decide through a vote whether they want to go with Pakistan or stay with Hindustan. This right was given to them by the international community. Which they have not received till date. "
Imran Khan said that he does not believe in military solution and only political solution to Kashmir problem is possible. He said that this plan is the first step and his political struggle will continue for the Kashmiris.
The constitution of Pakistan approves this?
Hassan Abbas, an official of the Pakistan State Department, explained this new map, "Pakistan's new political map released through Imran Khan, Pakistan-administered Kashmir (Pakistan called Azad Kashmir), Gilgit-Baltistan, Junagadh, Sir Creek. And considers the area after NJ9842 (Siachen) to be part of Pakistan, while the part of India, Jammu and Kashmir is a disputed area and has to be resolved according to UN Security Council resolutions. "
Talking to the BBC, political critic Dr. Hasan Askari Rizvi said that this step will bring great fame domestically, but internationally, this step will neither strengthen nor weaken Pakistan's case in Kashmir.
He said, "Pakistan does not need to change the map to make the world believe. The real issue is how can Pakistan gain more support in its favor on Kashmir dispute, and how many countries support Pakistan's stand on Kashmir." Will be ready to make India angry. "
He further said that this is a diplomatic issue and how much Pakistan's credibility and weight at the international level will matter, it will not be useful to change the map.
Mixed response on social media
Senior journalist Talat Aslam wrote, "Does the new map mean that we have left our old position on Kashmir that it is a disputed area to be resolved through a referendum. What will be the result, and Gilgit- Baltistan will now be made a new province. "
Responding to Talat's tweet, Mohammad Ziauddin, former editor of the Newspaper Express Tribune, wrote, "Does the constitution approve a new map that only considers four provinces. Was it needed, did we administer Pakistan-administered Kashmir and Gilgit- Baltistan has been merged into Pakistan without amending the constitution. "
Another Twitter user, Sierra Echo, wrote, "Sir Creek was a very old issue. Pakistan will have an exclusive economic zone for the first time; Junagadh and Kashmir are only indicative."
Some people are calling this new political map idea meaningless.
TV anchor Garida Farooqui said, "Kashmir has been part of the official map of Pakistan for the last 70 years. What's new in it, except that it has been written on the map. Whose idea was it?"
But most people are supporting it.
Najam Sahibzada tweeted, "I don't remember the part of Junagadh Pakistan was shown before. We must have read about it but never seen the map. It is a symbolic step anyway."
On Wednesday, August 5, a march will be taken across Pakistan to show support from the people of Indian Kashmir, which will be led by President Arif Alvi. One minute of silence will also be kept in Pakistan tomorrow.
Imran Khan will join the march in Muzaffarabad, the capital of Pakistan-administered Kashmir, and then address the House there.
