New Delhi:
India has rubbed the comments of the head of the Pakistani Army, who claimed that Kashmir is the “jugular vein” of Islamabad. In a strong statement statement, the Ministry of External Affairs (Mea) told reporters that Pakistan’s “relationship with Kashmir” is to vacate the illegally occupied area.
Mea spokesman Randhir Jiswal said, “How can anything be in a jugular vein? It is a center of India. Its only relationship with Pakistan is a holiday for illegally occupied areas by that country.”
Addressing a gathering of Pakistanis located abroad, Pakistan Army Chief General Asim Munir said that he was the ambassador of the country and should not forget that they belong to “better ideology and culture”.
“You must definitely tell the story of Pakistan to your children. Our ancestors thought that we are different from Hindus in every aspect of life. Our religion, customs, traditions, thoughts and ambitions are different. It was the foundation of two-nation theory that was laid,” said General Munir.
Speaking about Kashmir, General Munir said, “Our attitude is absolutely clear, it was our thunderous vein, it would be our juggular vein, we will not forget it. We will not leave our Kashmiri brothers in their heroic struggle.”
