Pakistan on Monday denounced a recent wave of antagonistic rhetoric emanating from Indian political leaders and the Spokesperson of India\u2019s Ministry of External Affairs, calling it a \u201cdeeply troubling mindset\u201d that undermines regional peace and stability.
\nResponding to media queries regarding the remarks made on May 29\u2014particularly those voiced during political events in Bihar\u2014the Foreign Office Spokesperson stated that India\u2019s attempts to malign Pakistan were \u201cdivorced from reality\u201d and indicative of a larger pattern of hostility over peace.
\n\u201cAny attempt to portray Pakistan as the source of regional instability is not only misleading but also an attempt to obscure India\u2019s own record, including documented support for terrorist activities inside Pakistan,\u201d the spokesperson said adding that these facts cannot be obscured by hollow narratives or diversionary tactics.
\nThe Jammu and Kashmir dispute remains the core issue threatening peace and stability in the region, the spokesperson added.
\nHe stressed that Pakistan will continue to stand firm in advocating for a just and lasting resolution to the Kashmir dispute in line with the relevant UN Security Council resolutions and the aspirations of the Kashmiri people. \u201cTo sidestep this fundamental issue is to condemn the region to continued mistrust and potential confrontation.\u201d
\nThe developments of recent weeks have once again underscored the utter futility of jingoism and coercion. India cannot and will not achieve its objectives through threats, misrepresentation, or force.
\nThe FO spokesperson added that Pakistan remains committed to peace and constructive engagement, but it is equally resolved to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity against any aggression.
\n\u201cDurable peace in South Asia requires maturity, restraint, and the courage to address the root causes of conflict\u2014not short-sighted political posturing,\u201d the spokesperson concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
