India rejects Pakistan's 'Youm-e-Istehsal' as malicious propaganda

India on Wednesday dismissed Pakistan's observance of 'Youm-e-Istehsal' as malicious propaganda, asserting that Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh are an integral and inalienable part of India. The Ministry of External Affairs said the 2019 constitutional changes were an internal matter and brought development to the region. India accused Pakistan of diverting attention from its human rights record and terrorism, and urged it to stop violence in PoJK and vacate occupied territories.
