India protests against Pakistan’s attempts to bring material changes in Indian territories

India on Thursday protested Pakistan’s attempts to bring material changes in the Indian territory under its illegal and forcible occupation.

Addressing a press conference in New Delhi, Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Anurag Srivastava spoke about India’s stand on the construction of a hydropower project in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

“We have seen media reports about the conclusion of agreements related to Azad Pattan Hydropower Project in PoK. We have consistently conveyed our strong protests to Pakistan on its attempt to bring material changes in Indian territories under its illegal and forcible occupation including by constructing hydropower projects like this one,” Srivastava said.

He reiterated India’s position that the entire Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh have been, are, and will remain to be integral and inalienable parts of India.
