Pakistan’s move to summon US diplomat a sign of its frustration over Gor’s J&K comment: MEA

Pakistan’s move to summon US diplomat a sign of its frustration over Gor’s J&K comment: MEA

In a move signifying its discontent, Pakistan summoned US Ambassador Sergio Gor on Friday, according to the Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal. The Indian delegation responded to Gor's assertion that Jammu and Kashmir are "integral and indivisible" parts of India, emphasizing that this statement is "factually incorrect" and contradicts Washington's longstanding position on Kashmir.

The Pakistani protest came after Gor's visit to Srinagar, effectively making him the first serving US Ambassador to conduct such a standalone visit to the Valley since the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019.
