India on Wednesday (1 November) expressed strong opposition to China and Pakistan over the proposed bus service passing through the Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project, The New Indian Express has reported.
As per reports the bus service will ply on the route between Lahore in Pakistan and Kashgar in China on 13 November.
Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Raveesh Kumar has announced that the ‘so-called China-Pakistan ‘Boundary Agreement' of 1963 is illegal and invalid, and has never been recognised by the Government of India”.
While responding to media queries regarding the proposed bus service the MEA spokesperson added, “Therefore, any such bus service through Pakistan Occupied Jammu & Kashmir will be a violation of India's sovereignty and territorial integrity”.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
