🌄Pakistan’s parliament on Tuesday passed a resolution urging New Delhi to hold a plebiscite in Kashmir, invoking again a demand rejected long back by India.

💧Minister for Kashmir Affairs Amir Muqam moved the resolution reaffirming Pakistan’s “unwavering moral, political and diplomatic support” for the Kashmiri people’s “right to self-determination”, according to Radio Pakistan.

🍨The scarred India-Pakistan bilateral ties nosedived after India abrogated Article 370 of the Constitution on August 5, 2019, revoking the special status of the state of Jammu and Kashmir and bifurcating it into two Union Territories.

𝓡India has repeatedly told Pakistan that Jammu and Kashmir “was, is and shall forever” remain an integral part of the country.

🐼The Pakistani resolution condemned the revocation of Article 370 and repeated allegations of human rights violations in the Valley.

🎃It also accused India’s civil and military leadership of making “provocative” statements on Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan.

🌃Minister Muqam said the UN must play its role, referring to the UN Security Council resolutions on Jammu and Kashmir.
