The Pakistan Ministry of Foreign Affairs categorically rejected the allegations propagated by the Indian media accusing Pakistan of having conducted attacks on Pathankot, Jaisalmer and Srinagar, calling the claims “without foundation, irresponsible and politically motivated”.
In an official declaration published on Wednesday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the accusations as part of a deliberate propaganda campaign intended to slander Pakistan and to create a pretext for climbing.
“These statements are entirely unfounded and reflect a reckless strategy aimed at destabilizing regional peace,” the statement said. “The repeated model of leveling allegations without credible investigation is deeply worrying and reveals a desire to exploit disinformation for political and military ends.”
The ministry warned that such tactics not only inflamed tensions but are likely to serious consequences for regional stability. He urged the international community to take note of what it described as the “dangerous behavior” of India and advise New Delhi to do the exercise of restraint and responsibility.
“Any climbing based on false pretexts will be welcomed with complete resolution and determination to protect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Pakistan,” added the press release.
While reaffirming Pakistan’s commitment to peace, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed that the country is not intimidated or caused by disinformation. “Pakistan remains vigilant and firmly attached to peace, but reserves the right to respond to any act of aggression,” he added.
The press release ended with a firm rejection of Indian allegations, rejecting them in the “strongest possible terms”.
Meanwhile, while tensions between two nuclear weapons neighbors threaten to become uncontrollable, Pakistan has greatly refuted the affirmations of India that the Pakistani army had drawn missiles in 15 places in its territory, mentioning the allegations “false, without foundation and with political motivation”.
The accusations are part of a broader New Delhi campaign to divert the attention of internal challenges and military shortcomings, said Thursday evening the Vice-Prime Minister Ishaq Dar and the DG Ispr, Lieutenant-General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry at a joint press conference.
In addition, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif told US Secretary of State Marco Rubio that “Pakistan reserves the right to act in self-defense”. He received a telephone call on Thursday from Secretary Rubio in which they discussed the evolution of the region of the Southern Asian region, according to a statement from the Prime Minister’s office.
