ISLAMABAD:
Pakistan on Wednesday categorically rejected the irresponsible remarks of the Indian External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar made during different media engagements in Brussels, advising him to refrain from concocting misleading narratives to justify their recent aggressive actions.
“The discourse of top diplomats should aim to promote peace and harmony, rather than producing bellicose punchlines. The tone and tenor of a foreign minister should be commensurate with his dignified status,” the Foreign Office spokesperson said in a press statement.
Speaking in Brussels on Tuesday, Jaishankar said when India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that “Operation Sindoor” was not over, it was a clear message that “we reserve the right to go after terrorists anytime, anywhere if they have done harm to us”.
The Foreign Office spokesperson said for the last several years, India had been engaged in a malicious campaign to mislead the international community through a fictitious narrative of victimhood.
“However, India’s continued anti-Pakistan diatribe cannot hide its sponsorship of terrorism beyond its borders, nor can it cover up the state-sanctioned oppression in IIOJK. Instead of pointing fingers at others, India should introspect on its own involvement in terrorism, subversion and targeted assassinations,” he added.
The spokesperson further stressed that India must also desist from concocting misleading narratives to justify its recent aggressive actions.
“The narrative emerging from India betrays sheer frustration, following an unsuccessful military adventure against Pakistan. The Indian leaders would be well-advised to improve the standard of their discourse and discard their obsession with Pakistan. The history will judge not by who shouted the loudest — but by who acted the wisest,” the spokesperson further added.
