Islamabad: PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry has criticised country’s civil and military leadership for ignoring Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh’s statement wherein he warned to invade Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) and Gilgit-Baltistan (G-B).

“Today defence minister of India said ‘we will take back Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan’ but unfortunately here in Pakistan no one considered it appropriate to discuss this matter during press conferences,” he said while addressing media here. He was referring to press conferences of top military leaders and federal ministers wherein they spoke about killing of senior journalist Arshad Sharif and PTI Chairman Imran Khan’s controversial statements against state institutions.

His statement comes as Kashmir Black Day is being observed Oct 27 to commemorate the landing of Indian troops in Srinagar on October 27, 1947 which continues to forcibly and illegally occupy Himalayan territory ever since.
