Islamabad has strongly denied the Indian claims that Pakistan launched attacks in Pathankot, Jaisalmer and Srinagar and called the allegations “baseless and irresponsible” and “politically motivated”.
In a statement released by the Foreign Office on Friday, Islamabad said India’s accusations were part of a “reckless propaganda campaign” designed to damage Pakistan’s image and touch tension in the region.
“The repeated pattern of smoothing accusations against Pakistan without any credible investigation reflects a deliberate strategy for producing a pretext for aggression and for further destabilizing the region,” reads the FO declaration.
On May 8, India launched strikes on Pakistan and AJK during the dark hours – an attack called Islamabad an “obvious act of war.”
Islamabad said that six Pakistani locations, from mosques to hydropower projects, were targeted. At least 31 civilians, including children, were martyrated and 57 persistent injuries after India launched an unprovoked and dishonest attack on six places – Ahmedspur East, Murideke, Sialkot and Shakkargarh in Punjab and Muzaffarabad and Kotli in Azad Kashmir.
By retaliation, Pakistan -armed forces destroyed five Indian Air Force (IAF) jets, seven drones, a brigade headquarters and a number of checkposts along the control line (LOC).
In his statement, the Foreign Office warned that such tactics not only risk peace in South Asia, but also shows a “disturbing willingness to exploit wrong information” for political or military purposes.
The invitation called on the international community to note, called on the declaration of global powers to “advise India for restraint and responsibility”.
“Any escalation based on false conditions will be met with full decision and determination to protect Pakistan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity,” the government said.
Pakistan emphasized that it remained obliged to peace, but it “will not be deterred by attempts to provoke, scare or mislead”.
It again emphasized that “it reserves the right to respond to aggression”.
These claims were also rejected by the civil and military leadership of Pakistan earlier in the day.
With a press of a press on Thursday, Director -General Public Relations (DG ISPR) Director -General Sharif Chaudhry categorically India’s claims that Pakistan launched attacks on 15 locations across the Indian territory and labeled the demands of “completely false.” He said India is trying to present fabricated evidence to justify his recent military actions against Pakistan.
“India’s claims are baseless. The images they have shown about alleged Pakistani projectiles are ridiculous. A projectile of this kind would at least set dry grass on fire, but their so -called evidence shows no such damage,” said DG Ispr.
He said India has claimed that Pakistan fired 15 projectiles, all of which were neutralized by Indian air defense. However, DG ISPR mocked these claims and pointed out India’s failure to protect its aircraft.
“If India claims that the neutralized 15 projectiles, why couldn’t it save its own five jets from being shot down by the Pakistani Air Force?” He asked and referred to Downing Five Indian Aircraft, including three Rafale fighters, a MIG-29 and an SU-30, by Pakistan Air Force.
