Pakistan on Tuesday condemned recent comments from Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi as “reckless provocation” and a threat to regional peace.

Giving a speech in Gujarat a day before, Modi had said, “The population of Pakistan has to come forward to free their country with terrorism. Their youth will have to arrive.”

“Live a life in peace, eat your bread or [choose my] Bullet, “he added. Modi then about India’s progress, saying that the country has passed Japan to become the world’s fourth largest economy. He then attacked Pakistan and said,” India believes in tourism, but Pakistan sees terrorism as tourism. It is dangerous to the world ”.

Modi also claimed that Indian forces had destroyed Pakistani air bases after attacks in the past, and when Pakistan targeted civilians in May, India responded with twice as much strength.

To respond to the comments, the Pakistan Ministry of Foreign Affairs has expressed regret over the “continued erosion of maturity and decor in Indian Statecraft”.

Modi’s speech was “delivered in Gujarat with the theater flowering of a campaign management rather than the soberness expected by the leader of a nuclear armed state,” the Foreign Office noted in his statement.

“The hate -driven invitation of violence in his remarks is deeply disturbing, not only for its content, but for the dangerous precedent it puts in the region already burdened by volatility,” FO added.

“These comments are contrary to the principles of the United Nations Charter,” FO further noted. “Member States are obliged to resolve disputes peacefully and refrain from the threat or use of force.”

In addition, Modi’s comments are an attempt to distract from what it described as ongoing human rights violations and demographic changes in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), the statement added.

Pakistan’s contribution to UN peace preservation and global terrorism efforts “speak louder than any hostile sound bit,” maintained the FO, and accused the Indian government of promoting extremism through “majoritarianism, religious intolerance and the systematic mismatch of minority”.

When he repeated his commitment to peace and sovereign equality, Islamabad warned that any threat to its security would be met with a “firm and proportionate” response, citing Article 51 of the UN Charter.

Islamabad called on the international community to take note of what it described as India’s “escalating rhetoric”, as it said undermines regional stability and the prospect of lasting peace.

India-Pakistan conflict

The latest escalation between Pakistan and India began on April 22 when an attack in the IIOJK Resort city of Pahagam killed 26 people. India immediately accused Pakistan of the incident, despite having provided no public proof.

In response, India took on a number of hostile actions the next day of April 23, including the suspension of the 65-year-old Indus Waters Treaty (IWT), which canceled Visa for Pakistani citizens, closes the Wagah-Attari border transition, ordered the shutdown of Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi and the reduction of diplomatic staff at each other’s amount.

Pakistan strongly rejected the accusation and did not call it substantiated, but took mutual measures through his National Security Committee (NSC). These included stopping trade in India, ending Pakistani airspace to Indian aircraft and other recesses.

Tensions further escalated in the early hours of May 7, when missile strikes hit six cities in Punjab and Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), destroy a mosque and kill dozens of civilians, including women, children and the elderly.

In a rapid military reaction, Pakistan’s armed forces shot Indian war plane, including three Rafale jet aircraft, which is largely considered an important asset to the Indian Air Force. Over the following two days, India launched waves of Israeli made drones, which were also neutralized by Pakistan’s military.

The confrontation intensified again in the early hours of May 10 when India targeted several Pakistani Airbases with missile attacks. In contrast, Pakistan Operation launched Bunyanum Marsoos, which damaged Indian military installations, including missile storage sites, airbases and other strategic goals.

On Saturday night, US President Donald Trump announced that a ceasefire had reached after an intense diplomatic effort overnight. Minutes later, the agreement was confirmed separately by Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar and the Indian Foreign Secretary.

But despite the military ceasefire, the narrative war has waged.

While Pakistan publicly credited US President Donald Trump – along with China and the Gulf States – to have played an important role in rejecting tension, India’s foreign involvement.

Indian officials have insisted on the ceasefire was the result of direct bilateral conversations.

However, Trump has repeated his attitude twice after the initial message.
