Islamabad: Pakistan Army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa is to chair a Corps Commanders Conference in Rawalpindi on Tuesday to discuss the situation along the LoC and the developments in Jammu and Kashmir even as a joint session of Parliament has been summoned by President Arif Alvi. The Corps Commanders Conference comes a day after the Indian government abolished Article 370 of the Constitution that granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir. Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has rejected the Indian government's move and said that Jammu and Kashmir was an "internationally recognised disputed territory".

"As the party to this international dispute, Pakistan will exercise all possible options to counter the illegal steps," it said.
