In a strong rebuttal to recent remarks made by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Pakistan’s Foreign Office has categorically rejected what it described as provocative and hateful statements, calling them a dangerous and irresponsible political ploy at a time when the global community is striving to de-escalate tensions in South Asia.
The Foreign Office spokesperson condemned Modi’s rhetoric as a move based on misinformation and political expediency, cautioning that such inflammatory remarks threaten regional peace and stability. “At a time when the world is making efforts to ensure peace, these statements serve only to fan the flames of conflict and push the region toward instability,” the spokesperson emphasized.
Pakistan Rejects Baseless Accusations
In his latest address to the Indian nation, Prime Minister Modi once again leveled traditional allegations against Pakistan, reiterating long-held but unsubstantiated claims related to terrorism and security threats. The Foreign Office dismissed these statements as baseless, reiterating that Pakistan itself has been a victim of terrorism—much of which, it claimed, was sponsored by India.
Pakistan has made enormous sacrifices in the global war against terrorism. Our contributions are recognized and appreciated by the international community, the spokesperson stated, reinforcing the country’s commitment to fighting extremism.
Strong Stance on Kashmir and Indus Waters Treaty
The Foreign Office also reaffirmed Pakistan’s firm and peaceful stance on the Kashmir dispute, urging that the issue should be resolved through UN resolutions and in accordance with the aspirations of the Kashmiri people. The spokesperson expressed Pakistan’s continued support for international mediation, including President Donald Trump’s past efforts to initiate dialogue on the issue.
In light of India’s escalating rhetoric, Pakistan reiterated its determination to uphold its rights under the Indus Waters Treaty, warning that it would take all necessary steps to protect its strategic and economic interests in accordance with international law.
“Peace is Our Priority, But Not at the Cost of Sovereignty”
Sending a clear message to New Delhi, the Foreign Office cautioned that Pakistan’s commitment to peace must not be mistaken for weakness. “While we seek peace and dialogue, any future aggression will be met with full force,” the spokesperson warned.
Describing Modi’s recent statements as a clear violation of international norms, the Foreign Office accused the Indian government of fabricating false narratives to justify aggressive postures. This pattern of hostility and misinformation reflects a mindset that is dangerous and destabilizing, the statement said.
Victory in May 7 Air Clash: Pakistan’s Military Gains Recognition
Referring to the air clash between India and Pakistan on May 7, the spokesperson said that the engagement ended in a clear tactical victory for Pakistan, as acknowledged by an American defense magazine. The Foreign Office emphasized that Pakistan’s military action during the skirmish was measured, responsible, and strictly confined to military targets.
Our response to Indian aggression was limited to countering military capabilities and installations. The facts speak for themselves, despite India’s attempts to obscure them with propaganda, the spokesperson added.
Caution to India, Call to International Community
The Foreign Office also issued a stern warning to India: do not operate under any illusion. We are closely watching India’s actions and statements. Our defense forces remain on high alert, and any misadventure will be responded to swiftly and decisively,the spokesperson said.
At the same time, Pakistan called upon the international community to monitor the situation closely, urging world powers to hold India accountable for actions that threaten regional peace. India’s behavior is setting a dangerous precedent that could destabilize the entire South Asian region. This is a moment for global leadership to step up and prevent further escalation,the statement urged.
A Clear Message from Islamabad
Pakistan’s message is unambiguous: it seeks peace, stability, and dialogue, but not at the expense of its sovereignty or security. The Foreign Office emphasized that Islamabad’s actions are rooted in defense and responsibility, while New Delhi’s rhetoric appears driven by internal political motives and a desire to shift focus from domestic challenges.
In the face of provocations and misinformation, Pakistan remains firm in its resolve to safeguard its people, territory, and international obligations. The world, it seems, is once again watching as two nuclear-armed neighbors navigate a precarious chapter in their long and complex relationship.
