Pakistan on Monday (5 August) summoned the Indian envoy to the nation, Ajay Bisaria to lodge strong condemnation of the move by the Indian government to scrap Article 370 which gave special status to the state of Jammu and Kashmir against the other states and Union Territories of India, reports Hindustan Times.
The Pakistani Foreign Secretary Sohail Mehmood protested against Union government's decision to bifurcate the state of Jammu and Kashmir into two Union territories of Ladakh and Jammu and Kashmir.
Mehmood pressed on India through Bisaria to halt and reverse its 'unlawful' and 'destabilising' actions and refrain from further action that could entail serious implications.
Earlier in the day Pakistan had also remarked that it would use all options at its disposal to counter the 'illegal' steps taken by India. “India is playing a very dangerous game by changing the status of Kashmir through illegal acts,” said Pakistan's Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi.

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.
