India on Wednesday rejected the Pakistan-China Boundary Joint Commission, saying the body has no legal basis and that any arrangements concerning Indian territory under illegal occupation are unacceptable. The Ministry of External Affairs said the entire Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh remain integral parts of India. Pakistan had announced the operationalisation of the commission after its first meeting in Islamabad.
External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said India has never recognised the 1963 China-Pakistan Boundary Agreement, calling it illegal and invalid. He also called on Pakistan to immediately vacate areas under its illegal and forcible occupation. India has also opposed the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor as part of it passes through Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
Indian Opinion Analysis
All seven outlets reported India's rejection without inserting editorial slant, reflecting straight news agency style. The Hindu and Mathrubhumi added background on Pakistan calling the commission a significant milestone, while Times Now broadened the context to include military tensions along the Line of Actual Control. The uniformity means no competing framings exist. The core dispute remains the 1963 boundary agreement, which India considers illegal. The next step is whether Pakistan and China proceed with joint surveys or trade facilitation under the commission despite India's objections.
