ISLAMABAD: The Foreign Office (FO) of Pakistan on Monday questioned Indian minister for external affairs that if Kashmir was an integral part of India, then why was it on the agenda of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC).

Refraining from the mention of worst human rights abuses in Indian-occupied Kashmir (IoK), she said that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in his address with the assembly leveled baseless accusations against India.
