The Pakistan Army held a meeting of its influential corps commanders on Tuesday to discuss the situation arising from India revoking Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir.
Addressing the Corps Commanders Conference at Rawalpindi, Pakistan Army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa said it fully supported the Pakistan government's “rejection of Indian actions regarding Kashmir”. "Pakistan never recognised the sham Indian efforts to legalise its occupation of Jammu and Kashmir through Article 370 or 35A decades ago; efforts which have now been revoked by India itself,” Bajwa tweeted.
