India hits back at Pakistan, says "invoking alarmist vision of the region will never succeed", over J&K integration

Issuing a statement on Pakistan’s unilateral decision to downgre bilateral relations, India on Thursday said that intention of Pakistan is to present an alarming picture to world. Statement by new Delhi also called out terrorism spre by Pakistan by saying that scrapping of Article 370 is negatively perceived in Pakistan as country h utilized such sentiments to justify its cross-border terrorism.

Here is statement:

1. We have seen reports that Pakistan has decided to take certain unilateral actions in respect to its bilateral relations with India.  This includes downgring of our diplomatic relations.   intention behind se measures is obviously to present an alarming picture to world of our bilateral ties.   reasons cited by Pakistan are t supported by facts on ground. 
 
2. Recent decisions by Government and Parliament of India are driven by a commitment to extend to Jammu and Kashmir opportunities for development that were earlier denied by a temporary provision in Constitution.  Its impact would also result in removal of and socio-ecomic discrimination.  It is also expected to result in an upswing of ecomic activity and improvement in livelihood prospects of all people of Jammu and Kashmir.
 
3.  It is t surprising that such developmental initiatives that could dress any disaffection in Jammu and Kashmir should be negatively perceived in Pakistan, which has utilized such sentiments to justify its cross-border terrorism. 
 
4. recent developments pertaining to Article 370 are entirely internal affair of India.   Constitution of India was, is and will always be a sovereign matter.  Seeking to interfere in that jurisdiction by invoking an alarmist vision of region will never succeed. 
 
5.   Government of India regrets steps anunced by Pakistan yesterday and would urge that country to review m so that rmal channels for diplomatic communications are preserved.
