ISLAMABAD – Pakistan Foreign Office has strongly regretted the IndianDefence Minister’s recent provocative statement against Pakistan.
In a statement, the Foreign Office Spokesperson, Dr Muhammad Faisal saidthe Indian allegations about the recent attack on military camp in OccupiedKashmir are premature and inopportune, especially as New Delhi itselfadmits that the operation still continued and investigations had juststarted, when these comments were made.
He said the Indian tendency of apportioning blame to Pakistan, without ashred of evidence, is regrettable.
We have repeatedly seen India arrogating to itself the role of judge, juryand executioner. The reflex assignment of blame and smear campaigns, basedon unfounded allegations, carry no credibility.
The spokesperson said more deplorable is the threatening tone of the Indiancomments that achieves nothing, but further vitiates the already tenseenvironment marked by unprecedented ceasefire violations by India on theLine of Control and the Working Boundary.
He said Pakistan is fully committed and capable of defending itself againstany act of aggression.
We expect the international community to take cognizance of the belligerentand repeated Indian statements against Pakistan, which are not only againstinternational law but also threatens regional peace and stability.
