ISLAMABAD, January 2: Pakistan has rejected new Indian Army Chief, Lt Gen Manoj Mukund Naravane’s irresponsible statement about “pre-emptive strikes” across the LoC inside Azad Jammu & Kashmir.
In a statement Thursday, Foreign Office Spokesperson Aisha Farooqui said that Pakistan deplores the continuing proclivity of Indian political as well as military leaders to fabricate facts regarding situation along the Line of Control as part of their attempts to mislead the world and with the intention of staging some false flag operation.
She said there should be no doubt about Pakistan’s resolve and readiness to thwart any aggressive Indian move, inside its territory or Azad Jammu and Kashmir.
The Spokesperson said no one should forget Pakistan’s befitting response to India’s Balakot misadventure.
She said despite India’s provocations, Pakistan will continue to contribute towards peace, security and stability in the region and beyond. She also reaffirmed Pakistan’s unflinching support and solidarity with the Kashmiri people as the inhuman lockdown in Indian Occupied Kashmir reaches 150 days. -NNI
