US Congresswoman in PoK: India on Thursday denounced US Congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s visit to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), saying it breached the country’s sovereignty and demonstrated her “narrow-minded” views.
Ms. Omar’s travel to the PoK was questioned by External Affairs Ministry spokeswoman Arindam Bagchi during a press conference. The Democrat from the United States is currently in Pakistan for a four-day visit.
He stated, “We have noted that US Representative Ilhan Omar visited a section of the Indian union territory of Jammu and Kashmir that is currently unlawfully occupied by Pakistan.” “It is entirely up to such a politician to pursue her narrow-minded politics at home. However, pursuing it while breaching our territorial integrity and sovereignty makes it ours. This visit is reprehensible “Mr. Bagchi continued.
Omar is the first Congresswoman to visit Pak after the PM change
Ms. Omar’s visit to PoK prompted him to make a statement. She is the first American politician to visit Pakistan since Imran Khan was deposed as Prime Minister.
In response to another question about recent terror acts in Afghanistan, the spokesperson stated that India was monitoring the situation in that country. “Some terrorist attacks have been witnessed. Terrorist assaults have always been met with vehement condemnation from us. We’re looking into what’s been going on in that area “Mr. Bagchi expressed his thoughts. “However, let me state unequivocally that we condemn all terrorist attacks,” he continued.
