Pakistan today rejected India's statement accusing it of stoking violence in Jammu and Kashmir, saying that the contention was "too simplistic and delusive".
Foreign Office spokesman Abdul Basit made the remarks while responding to the comments from Indian side accusing Pakistan of fomenting the unrest and violence in Jammu and Kashmir.
Basit said that by accusing Pakistan, India is "not only insulting the indigenous and legitimate struggle of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, but also betraying its lack of seriousness towards resolving" the dispute.
"Unless India musters the courage and acknowledges that the soul of self-determination can never be killed, its Kashmir policy will remain rudderless," Basit said.
Pakistan will continue extending diplomatic and moral support to the people of Jammu and Kashmir "until their legitimate aspirations are realised", he said.
