FO says UK court’s ruling on Hyderabad Fund case missed historical context

ISLAMABAD, Oct 2 (APP):The Foreign Office on Wednesday said the ruling by United Kingdom High Court on the Hyderabad Fund case ignored the historical context of transfer as India illegally annexed the city in violation of international law.

“The ruling does not take into account the historical context of the transfer when India illegally annexed Hyderabad in violation of International Law and all civilized norms, leading the Nizam of Hyderabad to make desperate efforts to defend his people and the state from Indian invasion,” a Foreign Office statement said.
