Pakistani FM: India's revocation of Kashmir special status violates UN resolution

Pakistan's Foreign Minister Mehmood Qureshi has condemned India's move to revoke the special status of Jammu and Kashmir, saying that the revocation breaches a UN resolution on the status of the territory, ONA reports.

"India's revocation of Kashmir special status violates UN resolution," Mehmood Qureshi said.

Note that India's government has said it plans to revoke the part of the constitution that gives Indian-administered Kashmir special privileges. Article 370, which grants it significant autonomy, is sensitive because it is the basis on which the princely state of Kashmir joined India when it was partitioned in 1947.
