Pakistan has categorically rejected the “baseless, provocative and irresponsible” accusations of the Indian Prime Minister at a recent public address in Rajasthan and claimed that such statements were clearly aimed at sticking regional tensions for narrow political gains.
“The comments, filled with distortions, erroneous representations and inflammatory rhetoric, are clearly aimed at sticking regional tensions for narrow political gains. Such statements not only reflect a deliberate attempt to mislead the public, but also violate the norms of responsible state craft,” Foreign Office Shafqat Ali Khan said in a statement Friday.
He said that resorting to threats and boasting military action against a sovereign nation was a serious breach of the United Nations Charter and established principles of international law, and that this dangerous approach also undermined regional peace and stability.
The spokesman said Pakistan remained a consistent and proactive partner in the global fight against terrorism, and any insinuation attempted to connect Pakistan with terrorist acts was actually incorrect and obviously misleading.
“It is a tactic often used to divert attention from India’s own internal challenges, as well as its oppressive politics in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK). India’s attempts to mask his serious human rights offenses are well-documented and recognized by the international community. Snowed by Kashmiri people and their righteous struggle for self-boundary of the bait.
He called on the Indian leadership to exercise responsibilities and restraint as escalating statements and belligerent attitude serves no purpose other than worsening of tension.
He said that instead of resorting to fictional tales and warmer for electoral environment, India should demonstrate maturity by solving outstanding disputes through peaceful dialogue and diplomacy.
Spokesman Khan repeated Pakistan’s regular commitment to peaceful coexistence, regional stability and constructive commitment.
“However, our desire for peace should not be misunderstood as weakness. The population of Pakistan and its armed forces is fully prepared and able to defend the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. Any misadventure or aggression will be met with a decisive and proportionate reaction. Pakistan has demonstrated his decision in the past and will do it again if it was,” he was. “
The spokesman also called on the international community to seriously note about India’s aggressive attitude and hate -driven tales that threaten regional peace.
The Indus Waters Treaty, which was broken by the World Bank in 1960, controls the distribution of rivers critical of Pakistan’s agriculture. Although Pakistan’s finance minister has said its suspension does not pose any immediate threat, tension escalates over water safety.
New Delhi accused Islamabad of the April 22 -attack that killed 26 people, mostly Hindu tourists, although no evidence was presented in public. Islamabad denied the accusations.
India performed missile attacks in response and triggered the most intense military exchanges between the nuclear armed rivals for decades. A ceasefire was reached on May 10th.
Pakistan repeated his commitment to peaceful coexistence, but warned against confusing restraint for weakness.
“Our armed forces are fully capable of defending our sovereignty. Any misadise venture will be met with a resolute answer,” said the Foreign Office.
Islamabad also called on the international community to take note of India’s “aggressive attitude” and called on New Delhi to resolve disputes through diplomacy, not threats.
“Glorification of conflict benefits nobody,” the statement concluded. “The road to lasting peace lies in dialogue, mutual respect and compliance with international law.”
