New Delhi:
In a move that could further strain friendly ties India has lodged a strong protest over Iran supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei's remarks describing Kashmir as one of the world's beseiged regions, along with Gaza and Afghanistan.
India has issued a demarche to Iran over these remarks.
Government sources say they are deeply disturbed with the comments on the 15th where Khamenei spoke of 'besieged Gaza, Afghanistan and Kashmir.'
Sources say 'Iran has questioned India's territorial integrity and sovereignty' in response.
India abstained from voting on a UN resolution criticising Iran's human rights record.
