ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Friday categorically rejected the \u201cbaseless, provocative, and irresponsible\u201d allegations made by the Indian Prime Minister during a recent public address in Rajasthan, asserting that such statements clearly aimed at stoking regional tensions for narrow political gains.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe remarks, replete with distortions, misrepresentations, and inflammatory rhetoric, are clearly aimed at stoking 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 statecraft,\u201d Foreign Office spokesperson Shafqat Ali Khan said in a statement.<\/p>\n
He said that resorting to threats and boasting about military action against a sovereign nation was a grave breach of the United Nations Charter and established principles of international law. This dangerous approach undermines regional peace and stability, he added.<\/p>\n
The spokespersons said that Pakistan remained a consistent and proactive partner in the global fight against terrorism.<\/p>\n
\u201cAny insinuation seeking to associate Pakistan with acts of terrorism is factually incorrect and patently misleading. It is a tactic often employed to divert attention from India\u2019s own internal challenges, particularly its repressive policies in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).\u201d<\/p>\n
Spokesperson Khan said that India\u2019s attempts to mask its serious human rights violations in IIOJK by scapegoating Pakistan were well-documented and increasingly recognised by the international community. The plight of the Kashmiri people and their just struggle for self-determination could not be obscured by aggressive rhetoric and political deflection, he remarked.<\/p>\n
He urged the Indian leadership to exercise responsibility and restraint as escalatory statements and belligerent posturing served no purpose other than exacerbating tensions. Rather than resorting to fictitious narratives and warmongering for electoral mileage, India should demonstrate maturity by resolving outstanding disputes through peaceful dialogue and diplomacy, he added.<\/p>\n
The spokesperson reiterated that Pakistan remained firmly committed to peaceful coexistence, regional stability, and constructive engagement.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, our desire for peace should not be misconstrued as weakness. The people of Pakistan and its armed forces are fully prepared and capable of defending the country\u2019s sovereignty and territorial integrity. Any misadventure or aggression will be met with a resolute and proportionate response. Pakistan has demonstrated its resolve in the past and will do so again, if required,\u201d he warned.<\/p>\n
Khan also urged the international community to take serious note of India\u2019s aggressive posture and hate-driven narratives that threaten regional peace, calling it imperative to discourage such rhetoric and actions to preserve stability in South Asia.<\/p>\n
\u201cGlorification of conflict benefits no one, and the path to lasting peace lies in dialogue, mutual respect, and adherence to international law,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
