Pakistan strongly hits back against Indian Ministry of External Affairs statement against PM Khan

ISLAMABAD – Pakistan strongly hits back against Indian Ministry of ExternalAffairs statement against Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan.

The Foreign Office on Saturday completely rejected the comments made by thespokesman of the Indian Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) about PrimeMinister Imran Khan’s statements, Kashmir and Pakistan-related issues,advising the neighbouring country to face the truth over its actions drivenby an extremist ideology and hegemonic designs.

In a press release, the spokesperson for the Foreign Office reminded thatexposing India’s egregious behaviour and state-terrorism in the IndianOccupied Jammu and Kashmir was part of Pakistan’s international obligationsand their moral responsibility to the Kashmiri victims of Indianrepression. “India would be well-advised to keep its lectures on diplomacyand normality to itself. All we would like to stress is, “Physician, healthyself!” it added.

The spokesperson said, “If India feels provoked, it is only because Indiais unwilling to face the truth about its indefensible actions that aredriven by the toxic mix of extremist ideology and hegemonic ambitions.”

It said equally reprehensible were India’s pretensions of casting itself asa ‘normal’ country. The international community would like to ask as towhat normal country caged 8 million people in an inhuman lockdown for overtwo months and deceived the world by claiming that “everything is fine.”“Similarly, what normal country provides space and political patronage tothe perpetrators of mob lynchings by cow vigilantes and repugnant schemeslike gharwapsi,” it added.
