\n Islamabad
\nForeign Office on Monday criticised Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s recent remarks on regional peace, calling them \u201cmisleading and one-sided\u201d while accusing New Delhi of ignoring the Kashmir dispute.
\nModi, in a podcast interview with American podcaster Lex Fridman, said India\u2019s efforts to establish peace with Pakistan had been \u201cmet with hostility and betrayal.\u201d He expressed hope that \u201cwisdom would prevail\u201d in Islamabad to improve bilateral relations.
\nIn response, Pakistan\u2019s Foreign Office dismissed Modi\u2019s comments, accusing India of promoting a \u201cfictitious narrative of victimhood\u201d while being involved in fomenting militancy on Pakistani soil and suppressing dissent in Indian-administered Kashmir.
\n\u201cInstead of blaming others, India should reflect on its own record of orchestrating targeted assassinations, subversion, and terrorism in foreign territories,\u201d the Foreign Office said in a statement.
\nPakistan\u2019s Foreign Office reiterated its stance on resolving all outstanding issues, including Jammu and Kashmir, through \u201cconstructive engagement and result-oriented dialogue.\u201d FO spokesperson also referred to allegations against Indian agents for plotting assassinations abroad.
\nThe FO further stated that peace and stability in South Asia remain \u201chostage to India\u2019s rigid approach and hegemonic ambitions.\u201d \u201cThe anti-Pakistan narrative, emanating from India, vitiates the bilateral environment and impedes the prospects for peace and cooperation,\u201d it said. \u201cIt must stop.\u201d
\nIn January 2024, Pakistan accused India of \u201cextraterritorial\u201d and \u201cextrajudicial\u201d killings of two of its citizens on Pakistani soil. Islamabad has long accused New Delhi of supporting militancy in its western provinces, particularly Balochistan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
