Prepared to go to any extent to fulfill our obligations to Kashmiri people: Army
Lodhi also handed a letter from Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi to UN Secretary-General António Guterres asking the SC to ensure full compliance of its own resolutions in Indian-occupied Kashmir (IoK).
The letter, ‘categorically rejects the illegal Indian annexation of occupied J&K in express violation of SC resolutions’.
On Monday, India revoked special status of occupied Kashmir by abolishing Article 370 of the constitution which gave special autonomy to the Muslim-majority Himalayan region.

The step would mean revocation of a bar on property purchases by people from outside the state. Such plans have in the past provoked warnings of a backlash in Kashmir.
The law had also reserved state government jobs for residents, as well as college places, in an effort to keep the state from being overrun by people from the rest of India.
Following the revocation of Article 370, the Indian Army and Indian Air Force have been put on high alert.
