MEA Expresses Regret Over Malaysian PM’s UNGA remark On Kashmir

In his address to the UN General Assembly last week, Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad remarked that India has "invaded and occupied" Jammu and Kashmir and that it must solve the issue with Pakistan through dialogue.

MEA spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said the Malaysian government must refrain from making such remarks in view of the relations shared between the two nations.

“Jammu and Kashmir signed the Instrument of Accession like all other princely states. Pakistan invaded and illegally occupied parts of the state. The Government of Malaysia should bear in mind the friendly relations between the two countries and desist from making such remarks,” Kumar said.
