Pakistan takes a strong exception over the new revelations of Mumbai Police on Pulwama attacks

Foreign Office on Sunday said that the world community has been presentedwith irrefutable evidence of India s state-sponsorship of terrorism againstPakistan and anti-Pakistan disinformation and smear campaign globally.

In a statement issued on Sunday, it was said that transcripts included inthe Mumbai police charge-sheet against the Republic TV anchor in the TRPcase have further exposed India s sinister designs and vindicated Pakistans long held position. The latest revelations further confirm what Pakistanhas consistently pointed out: The BJP government stages “false flag”operations; maligns Pakistan with terrorism-related allegations; stokeshyper-nationalism in the country; claims to have launched so-called”surgical strike”; and then deviously manipulates national sentiment in itsbid to win elections.

The pattern is unmistakable, and has been repeated to suit the RSS-BJPregime s electoral calculations. The foreign office said that we had, atthe outset, rejected India s malicious propaganda against Pakistan andhighlighted that the biggest beneficiary of the Pulwama attack in February2019 was the BJP government, as it secured landslide victory in the ensuingLok Sabha elections. The transcripts provide further evidence of how thiswhole enterprise from false flag operation to massive electoral successwas scripted and fully realized.

The transcripts also illustrate the unholy nexus between the Hindutva regime and its cronies in the Indian media. The statement said, on the onehand, they show how far and deeply the extremist agenda of the RSS-BJPcombine has permeated India s institutions and pillars of the state. On theother hand, they show how the rights and freedoms of Indian citizens anddemocratic values in Indian society are being seriously jeopardized throughcynical manipulation. It said actions of this reckless Indian regime drivenby considerations of domestic politics are gravely imperiling regionalpeace and security.

The foreign office said Pakistan, for its part, will continue to counterIndian falsehoods with truth and act firmly and responsibly in the face ofIndia’s provocations.
