Azad Kashmir President Sultan Mahmood Chaudhry has rejected India's protest against the recent visit to Mirpur by British High Commissioner Jane Marriott and said the Indian government's contention on the matter is highly ridiculous.

In a statement, he said the Indian government which hosted G20 summit events in Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir last year has no moral or legal justification to raise objections over foreign diplomats visiting Azad Kashmir.

He said that envoys of different countries have visited Azad Kashmir before, and they will continue to do so in the future.
