Pakistan Foreign Office strongly reacts against the allegations levelled by Indian defence minister

The Foreign Office on Monday rejected Indian Defence Minister RajnathSingh’s “unfounded insinuations” that Pakistan and China were deliberatelycreating border disputes with India.

“It is India that not only creates disputes with neighbours but also runsaway from peacefully resolving them,” an FO press release said.

The FO further said that Singh’s remarks “demonstrate an inexcusable lackof self-awareness of RSS-BJP regime’s self-serving narrative”.

“[Singh’s statement is] another manifestation of the Indian government’sincurable obsession with Pakistan,” the FO press release stated.

It also slammed the “malicious Indian propaganda” against Pakistan andChina’s friendship and said: “It is preposterous for a country that iscompulsively expansionist and a brazen practitioner of state-terrorism, tolevel charges against others.”

The FO advised the Indian government to “seriously consider coursecorrection by giving up its aggressive agenda and peacefully resolvingdisputes with neighbours”.
