Ilhan Omar’s travel to the region violated the country’s sovereignty: MEA spokesperson
India on Thursday condemned the visit of U.S. Congresswoman Ilhan Omar to Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir (PoK), saying her travel to the region violated the country's sovereignty and it reflected her "narrow-minded" politics.
At a media briefing, External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi criticised Ms. Omar for visiting the PoK.
The U.S. Congresswoman, who is a Democrat, is currently on a four-day visit to Pakistan.
"We have noted that U.S. representative Ilhan Omar has visited a part of the Indian union territory of Jammu and Kashmir that is currently illegally occupied by Pakistan," he said.
"If such a politician wishes to practice her narrow-minded politics at home, that may be her business. But violating our territorial integrity and sovereignty in its pursuit makes it ours. This visit is condemnable," Mr. Bagchi added.
He was asked to comment on Ms. Omar's visit to PoK.
She is the first American lawmaker to visit Pakistan after the ouster of Imran Khan as prime minister of the country.
