ISLAMABAD:  The Foreign Office (FO) has strongly condemned the recent provocative statements made by the Indian leadership and Ministry of External Affairs, terming them extremely concerning and highly irresponsible.

According to the Foreign Office spokesperson, the remarks made by Indian leaders, particularly in Bihar, reflect a hostile mindset and are a clear indication of efforts to escalate tensions rather than promote peace in the region.

The spokesperson added that India’s attempts to blame Pakistan for instability in the region are not only baseless but also completely detached from reality. The facts cannot be hidden from hollow stories or focus tricks.

The statement said that the international community is well aware of India’s aggressive behavior and the alleged support of terrorist activities in Pakistan.

The Foreign Office spokesman made it clear that the Jammu and Kashmir dispute continues to be a major threat to peace and stability in South Asia, and ignoring the issue would be equivalent to pushing the region towards a disadvantage and possible confrontation.

The spokesman said that Pakistan is determined to resolve the long -standing conflict and this solution is possible only according to UN resolutions and the aspirations of the Kashmiri people.

The Foreign Office gave a clear message to India that India cannot achieve its goals through threats, misrepresentation and use of force, recent progress has proven that the policy of militant attitude and pressure is absolutely useless.

The spokesman added that Pakistan is not only ready for peace and constructive dialogue but is also fully alert for the protection of its sovereignty and territorial integrity.

He emphasized that sustainable peace requires serious measures towards adult ideology, seizure and basic problems.
