Pakistani analysts demandg to know whether Imran Khan and Donald Trump discussed New Delhi’s plans for J&K during their meeting in Washington on July 22.
International:-The administration’s revocation of the arrangements of Article 370 and the bifurcation of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) into two association regions – Ladakh and J&K – has evoked little reaction from governments over the world.
Pakistan has been the main nation to denounce New Delhi’s turn. Proclaiming that “Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir is a globally perceived a contested area”, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) in Islamabad expressed: “As the gathering to this worldwide question, Pakistan will practice every single imaginable choice to counter the illicit advances.”
While Pakistan has long tried to internationalize the Kashmir debate, Islamabad will introspect about whether its clearly effective ploy – in which Prime Minister Imran Khan got President Donald Trump to offer his administrations in intervening the Kashmir question – really made New Delhi move faster in annulling Kashmir’s unique status.

Pakistani investigators are requesting to know whether Khan and Trump examined New Delhi’s arrangements for J&K during their gathering in Washington on July 22, and whether the Pakistan Army knew about the approaching declaration.
“Question is what was DGISI (executive general of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence) doing that he couldn’t assemble the intel[ligence] with respect to what India had arranged in Kashmir? For what reason did it come as an astonishment?” asked Ayesha Siddiqa, the acclaimed writer of Pakistan Inc., a book on the Pakistan Army’s business dealings.
Islamabad’s analysis of New Delhi’s bifurcation of J&K is debilitated by its very own rebuilding in 1970 of Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (POK), from which it cut out a governmentally controlled piece of an area that it assigned the “Northern Areas”. New Delhi is currently reflecting that Pakistani move, via cutting out Ladakh from J&K and assigning it an association region that will be straightforwardly directed from New Delhi.
In 2009, President Asif Zardari renamed the Northern Areas as Gilgit-Baltistan and allowed the region a level of self-sufficiency. Be that as it may, nearby activists challenge vocally that power keeps on resting with the midway selected representative, not the chosen get together.
