 Letter dated 2 February 1971 from the representative of India S. Sen to the President of the Security Council

I have the honour to forward herewith a copy of a note dated 8 January 1971, which the High Commission of India in Islamabad (Pakistan) has delivered to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Government of Pakistan, in reply to the Pakistan note circulated as a Security Council document

[S/10059]. I request that the attached note be circulated also as an official document of the Security Council.

(Signed) S. SEN Permanent Representative of India to the United Nations

NOTE NO. ISL (POL) 103/2/71, DATED 8 JANUARY 1971, FROM THE HIGH COMMISSION OF INDIA IN ISLAMABAD TO THE MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS OF PAKISTAN

The High Commission for India and Pakistan presents its compliments to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Government of Pakistan, and has the honour to refer to their note No IN (4)-6/5/69 dated 16 December 1970.

The attention of the Government of Pakistan is drawn to the note given in India on 16 September 1969, regarding the Central Labour Laws (Extension to Jammu and Kashmir) Bill 1969. The note rejected the note of 3 September 1969 from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Government of Pakistan, on the same subject as it constituted an unwarranted interference in the internal affairs of India in furtherance of Pakistan's ambitions on Indian territory. The Government of India rejects the note under reference for the same reasons. It is a matter of regret that the hope expressed earlier about the Government of Pakistan desisting from such interference in future has been belied.
