India lodges strong protest with UK over visit of envoy to PoK


New Delhi: India has registered a strong protest with the UK over the visit to Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK) by its High Commissioner to Islamabad along with another British official.

The ministry of external affairs said such ‘infringement’ of India’s sovereignty and territorial integrity is ‘unacceptable.’

“India has taken a serious note of the highly objectionable visit of the British High Commissioner in Islamabad, along with a UK Foreign Office official, to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir on January 10,” it said.

“The Foreign Secretary has lodged a strong protest with the British High Commissioner in India on this infringement,” the MEA said.

“The Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh are, have been, and shall always remain an integral part of India,” it said in a statement.

Press Trust of India (PTI) is India’s premier news agency, having a reach as vast as the Indian Railways. It employs more than 400 journalists and 500 stringers to cover almost every district and small town in India.
