Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Monday termed India’s move to revoke Article 370 of the Constitution which gave special status to Jammu & Kashmir as “illegal” and said it will “further deteriorate” relations between the nuclear-capable neighbours.
Imran made the remarks while speaking separately with his Malaysian counterpart Mahathir Mohamad and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. He said changing the status of Kashmir was “illegal and a violation of UN resolutions”.
“India’s move will further deteriorate relations between nuclear-capable neighbours,” Khan was quoted as telling the Malaysian Prime Minister by a Foreign Office statement.
On his part, Prime Minister Mahathir said that Malaysia was closely monitoring the situation in Kashmir and would remain in contact with Pakistan, Geo News reported.
