Reacting strongly to a US Congressman's introduction of a resolution on Balochistan, the Pakistani embassy has rejected the move as ill-informed and unacceptable.

"We reject this ill-informed move and the Congressman's misplaced concern on Balochistan, which is a part of the Pakistani Federation," the embassy said, commenting on Representative Dana Rohrabacher's move in the House on the rights of the people of Balochistan.

A statement issued by the embassy reminded sponsors of the move that Balochistan has a "directly elected provincial assembly of its own and has due representation in the National Assembly and the Senate of Pakistan."

"The resolution seeks to cast doubt on the territorial integrity of a member of the United Nations and a friend of the United States, and is totally unacceptable."

The Pakistani embassy made it clear that "Balochistan's affairs and issues are an internal matter of Pakistan and it is for the people of Pakistan and our emocratic institutions to address these."

"We would advise those behind this resolution to reserve their concern and solicitude for problems closer to home. Needless to say provocations such as these will seriously impact the Pakistan-US relations.

We value this relationship but not at the cost of our dignity, sovereignty and territorial integrity," the embassy statement added.
