Mumtaz Zahra Baloch claimed that India has occupied Junagadh since 1948. He said, “Junagarh was annexed to Pakistan at the time of partition.
Pakistan claimed a city in the western tip of India as their own. In a meeting with journalists, Islamabad again brought forward the old claim that Junagadh in Gujarat is part of them.
Stating that Junagadh is under illegal occupation by India, Pakistan’s foreign ministry spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch claimed that India has occupied Junagadh since 1948. He said, “Junagarh was annexed to Pakistan at the time of partition.
Later it was illegally occupied by India. Pakistanis see the whole issue from a historical and legal point of view. Junagadh is a part of Pakistan and India has violated UN Charter and international law by illegally occupying this part. “
Mumtaz said that the issue of Junagadh has always been raised on the political and diplomatic stage by Pakistan. He also said that Pakistan wants a peaceful solution to this issue. He said, “Pakistan considers Junagadh as an unfinished agenda like India’s illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.” “
Pakistan’s claim about Junagadh is not new. After Nepal in 2020, Pakistan included several regions of India in its political map. The Cabinet of Pakistan also approved it.
Parts of Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh were placed on the map. At the same time, the cities of Junagadh and Manavgarh in Gujarat and Sir Creek region were also claimed as part of Pakistan.
