Referring to the immense human and material losses incurred by Pakistan inthe war against terrorism, Zahid Hafeez said India has mischievouslymasqueraded as a victim of terrorism and sought to mislead theinternational community by hypocritically levelling terrorism-relatedallegations against Pakistan. It has also conducted false flag operationsin Indian Illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir and inside India to malignPakistan. This façade has now been removed and the world can see the realface of India.
