Pakistan has denounced and based on the “misleading and unilateral” comments of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi regarding regional peace, according to a statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (FO) on Monday.
The FO response occurred in the reaction to Modi’s observations in a podcast with the American computer scientist and Podcast Lex Fridman launched on Sunday, where he said that “every attempt to foster peace with Pakistan met with hostility and betrayal” and that he hoped that “wisdom prevailed in leadership in Islamabad to improve bilateral ties.”
In a statement issued today, FO said: “The comments are misleading and unilateral. They conveniently omit the Jammu and Cashmiro dispute, which is still unresolved during the last seven decades despite the solemn guarantees of India before the United Nations, Pakistan and the people of Kashmir. “
In the interview, Modi was questioned about the icy ties between India and Pakistan and what he saw as his future. Responding to that, the Indian prime minister said that after the tragic partition events that saw blood shedding on both sides, “we expected them to live and let live and, nevertheless, they decided not to encourage harmonious coexistence. Again and again, they decided to disagree with India. They have fought a war of power against us. ”
In addition, he claimed that Pakistan’s participation was found in global terrorism incidents, saying: “Wherever terror hits the world, the path somehow leads to Pakistan. Let’s take the September 11 attacks, for example. The main intellectual author behind this, Osama Bin Laden, where did it finally arise? He had taken refuge in Pakistan.
“The world has recognized that in a way terrorism and terrorist mentality are deeply rooted in Pakistan. Today, it is an epicenter of agitation, not only for India but for the world. And we have repeatedly asked them what good can come from this path? We have urged them to abandon the path of terrorism sponsored by the State forever. “
Regarding his Oberturas for Peace, Modi said: “When I became Prime Minister, I especially invited Pakistan to my swear ceremony so that we could deliver a new sheet. However, every noble attempt to encourage peace was found with hostility and betrayal. “
By rejecting his comments, the FO said the “fictitious narrative of the victim” of India could not hide his alleged participation in terrorism in the soil of Pakistan and the oppression sanctioned by the State in the Kashmir occupied by India (Iok).
“Instead of blaming others, India should reflect on their own orchestrate registration of specific murders, subversion and terrorism in foreign territories.
“Pakistan has always advocated constructive commitment and results -oriented dialogue to solve all pending problems, including Jammu and Kashmir’s central dispute. However, peace and stability in southern Asia have remained hostages of the rigid approach of India and hegemonic ambitions. “
The FO concluded by saying that the antipakistan narrative emanating from India disturbed the bilateral environment and prevented peace and cooperation perspectives. “It must stop,” the fo demanded.
Islamabad and New Delhi have historically shared a tumultuous relationship, and India often releases statements against Pakistan and the latter issuing refutations. More recently, after the attack of the Jaffar Express train in Baluchistan, the Indian media conducted a misinformation campaign around the incident to deceive the world, according to the general director of Public Relations (ISPR) between services (ISPR), Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry.
General Chaudhry had also argued that India was the main sponsor of terrorism in the province.
“We must understand that in this terrorist incident in Baluchistan, and others before, the main sponsor is his eastern neighbor (India),” he said, added that Jaffar Express attack was a “continuation of the same policy.”
In January, the Chief General of the Indian Army, Usendra Dwivedi, said that “60 percent of the terrorists eliminated” in Iak in 2024 supposedly of Pakistani origin. General Dwivedi also claimed that “80pc of the remaining fighters in Iak were of Pakistani origin.” The comments had caused a strong response from the Pakistan army.
The Chief General of the Army, also Munir, had described the comments as “hollow statements” that were indicative of the “growing frustration” of the Indian army that only served to “divert the attention of their masses and the international community of its multiple internal fissures and obvious violations of human rights.”
Meanwhile, the FO had highlighted the issue of extraterritorial murders, even in Pakistan, which, according to multiple reports of international media, were carried out by the Indian government.
Undercover Indian murders
A December 2024 report in the Washington Post He has exposed the ins and outs
According WapoThe Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) has conducted a murder campaign in Pakistan since 2021, an operation that shares similarities with covert actions recently attributed to Indian agencies in North America.
Based on interviews with Pakistani and Indian officials, militant associates, family members and a review of police documents, the report documents six murders in Pakistan that are supposedly part of this coordinated effort.
The report indicates that India extended this campaign beyond Pakistan, using similar tactics in North America against SIJ activists, including Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada and Gurpatwant Pannun in the United States.
The report presents comparisons between the tactics used in Pakistan and similar Indian operations against SIJS activists in Canada and the United States. In both cases, Indian agents allegedly trusted local criminal networks and poorly trained contractors.
However, these operations faced significant setbacks in North America, including the plot to kill activist Sikh Gurpatwant Pannun in New York. The murder attempt failed when an intermediary, without knowing it, approached an informant of the Drug Control Agency (DEA) who made a hired killer.
Canadian officials have also accused Indian diplomats of surveillance, intimidation and conspiring to kill Sikh activists. According to reports, electronic communications linked these diplomats with such activities, having more relations between India and Western nations.
The Ministry of External Affairs of India declined to comment on the report, maintaining its long position of not confirming or denying participation in specific murders, but Indian officials have previously justified their actions.
