The FO spokesperson said Pakistan rejected all those allegations leveled by the Indian side. The Indian high commissioner will also be summoned to Islamabad today, the Foreign Office spokesperson said.

To another question regarding Afghan Taliban, he said Pakistan hoped the issues should be resolved peacefully.

Earlier in the day, the Foreign Office said Government of Pakistan categorically rejected the objections raised by India to the Pakistan Foreign Minister’s telephonic call to Mirwaiz Umar Farooq.

“We would like to reiterate that Kashmir is an outstanding dispute between India and Pakistan, and acknowledged as such through UN Security Council resolutions as well as numerous Pakistan-India documents including the Simla Agreement and Lahore Declaration. The Kashmir issue remains on the agenda of the UN Security Council,” the statement added.
