Pakistan has categorically rejected and condemned the highly inflammatory, baseless and irresponsible comments made by the Indian External Affairs Minister.
In his recent statement, Jaishankar alleged that many of India’s problems with Pakistan emanated from the Army. Talking to a private Indian channel, he remarked that the hostility towards India comes from the Pakistan Army.
“Pakistan is a responsible state and its all institutions, including armed forces, are a pillar of national security, dedicated to safeguarding the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country”, stated FO spokesperson Tahir Andrabi in a post shared on X (former Twitter) on Sunday.
“The May 2025 conflict vividly demonstrated Pakistan’s armed forces’ professionalism as well as their resolve to defend the motherland and the people of Pakistan against any Indian aggression in a befitting, effective yet responsible manner. No amount of propaganda can belie this truth”, the statement reads.
Tahir Andrabi stated that the Indian leadership’s attempts to defame Pakistan’s state institutions and its leadership were a part of a propaganda campaign designed to distract attention from India’s destabilising actions in the region and beyond, as well as State-sponsored terrorism in Pakistan.
“Such incendiary rhetoric only exemplifies the extent of India’s disregard for amity, peace and stability in our region”, he stated while suggesting India investigate the fascist and revisionist Hindutva ideology that has unleashed a reign of mob justice, lynchings, arbitrary detentions and demolition of properties and places of worship.
“Indian state and leadership both have become hostages of this terror in the name of religion”, he stated.
“Pakistan believes in co-existence, dialogue and diplomacy. However, it stands united and resolute in its intent and ability to safeguard its interests and sovereignty”, he concluded.
