On Thursday, India voiced strong opposition to Pakistan’s reported move to declare Gilgit (Pakistan) as that country’s fifth province.

“We have said that the entire state of Jammu & Kashmir has been and will remain a part of India,” External Affairs Ministry Raveesh Kumar said in response to a question at a media briefing.
Mr Kumar said,”Any attempt by Pakistan to change the legal status has no basis whatsoever. We call upon Pakistan to vacate all occupied territories.”
Gilgit-Baltistan is a part of Jammu and Kashmir, but Pakistan illegally occupied it after Partition in 1947.
Islamabad later divided the region into two parts – Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan.
According to reports, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has approved a proposal to alter the region’s status to that of an interim province in principle.
