New Delhi, April 17: India has rubbished comments by the Pakistani army chief, Asim Munir, who claimed Kashmir was Islamabad’s “jugular vein”. In a strongly worded statement, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) told reporters that Pakistan’s “only relationship with Kashmir” is to vacate the illegally occupied territory.
“How can anything foreign be in a jugular vein? This is a Union Territory of India. Its only relationship with Pakistan is the vacating of illegally occupied territories by that country,” Jaiswal said.
His remarks come hours after a video of Munir urging Pakistani citizens to narrate how the nation was born to their children went viral.
“…Our forefathers thought we were different from Hindus in every possible aspect of life,” Munir said. “Our religion is different, our customs are different, our traditions are different, our thoughts are different, our ambitions are different. That’s where the foundation of the two-nation theory was laid. We are two nations, we are not one nation.”
