RISALPUR: Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee (CJCSC) General Zubair Mahmood Hayat said on Thursday that India’s annexation of Kashmir is illegal, adding that the occupied valley is Pakistan’ s jugular vein.
The CJCSC was addressing the passing out parade in Risalpur, where he said that Pakistan considers the Indian-forced annexation of Kashmir as illegal.
He further said that until the Kashmir issue is resolved peacefully, regional peace will be threatened.
The CJCSC said that the issue of occupied Kashmir should be resolved according to the United Nations Security Council resolutions.
