Terming the move “illegal”, a statement issued by the Foreign Office on Thursday said the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Order, 2020, was a violation of concerned international laws and the Geneva Convention. #Pakistan strongly condemns & rejects the latest Indian action aimed at illegally changing the demographic structure of IOJ&K.
