Pakistan has rejected the “provocative and false statements” of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The Foreign Office spokesperson said on Tuesday that at a time when peace efforts were being made in the region, Narendra Modi’s claim that Pakistan sought ceasefire was based on misinformation.
He said Pakistan was committed to enhancing peace in the region and the ceasefire was reached with the support and mediation of a few friendly nations. “India is putting the blame on Pakistan to avoid taking the heat of its security failure,” he added.
The Foreign Office also called on the international community to closely monitor India’s actions in the coming days after the recent ceasefire.
It said India’s actions set a dangerous precedent for aggression by “dragging the entire region to the brink of disaster”.
“Moreover, India is justifying the cold-blooded murder of innocent civilians, mostly women and children, as well as its highly irresponsible brinkmanship as the ‘new normal’ for the region.
“Pakistan totally rejects this assertion. The ‘normal’ remains that no one will be allowed to challenge the principles and purposes of the UN Charter, as amply demonstrated by Pakistan in resolutely defending its sovereignty, territorial integrity, as well as the security of its people,” the FO said.
