Pakistan's foreign ministry said India's decision to strip Jammu and Kashmir of special privileges violated international law and several UN Security Council resolutions.
The Indian High Commissioner to Pakistan, Ajay Bisaria, was summoned by Islamabad's ministry of foreign affairs. During that meeting, "the Foreign Secretary conveyed Pakistan's unequivocal rejection of these illegal actions as they are in breach of international law and several UN Security Council resolutions," Pakistan's foreign ministry said in a statement.
Jammu and Kashmir is India's only Muslim-majority state and is part of the broader disputed Kashmir region. Analysts told CNBC that Monday's move in New Delhi will likely intensify the animosity between the nuclear-powered rivals who've fought multiple wars over Kashmir.Pakistan will likely increase diplomatic pressure on India by turning to the international community, experts said.
India deployed tens of thousands of troops across the Kashmir Valley in anticipation of a backlash. Authorities also banned public movements, shut down schools and colleges indefinitely and put two former chief ministers of the state under house arrest ahead of the announcement.
