In an absolute embarrassment for Pakistan, senior Pakistani leader Altaf Hussain on Saturday said that revocation of Article 370 is India's "internal matter" and that Pakistan should stop meddling in India's internal matters. The founder of Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) also sang 'Sare Jahan se Accha' during an address to his followers.
"Hussain said that the revocation of Article 370 by the Indian government was absolutely an internal matter of India and that the government of India took this decision with the overwhelming support of the people," a statement quoted the founder of MQM as saying.
Hussain then reportedly launched a direct attack on the civil and military establishments of Pakistan, and said that they have been misleading the Pakistanis over the issue of Kashmir for the last 72 years.
"Pakistan invaded J&K and for that purpose, used people of the tribal belt of Pakistan to attack and free J&K. Following this, the Maharaja of J&K approached India for help, consenting to merge the state with India. Pakistan fought four wars with India over the region ,but faced a humiliating defeat in all those four fights. Pakistan had not stopped conspiring against India," he said.
