ISLAMABAD
\nPakistan on Friday dismissed India\u2019s claims regarding \u201cOperation Mahadev\u201d as meaningless, asserting that the narrative holds no importance in Islamabad\u2019s view. During the weekly press briefing, Foreign Office spokesperson Shafqat Ali Khan said that Indian Home Minister Amit Shah\u2019s statement was based on \u201clies and fictional storytelling\u201d.
\nHe stressed that Pakistan categorically rejects India\u2019s nuclear blackmailing rhetoric and the strategic relevance attached to the so-called Operation Mahadev. Indian Home Minister Shah, earlier this week, claimed before the parliament that Indian security forces recovered Pakistani voter identity cards and locally made chocolates from three men killed in a gun battle in Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), who, according to him, were involved in the Pahalgam attack.
\nThe spokesperson described Indian political leaders\u2019 remarks in the Lok Sabha concerning Operation Sindoor as baseless and provocative, saying that New Delhi is distorting facts and attempting to justify unprovoked aggression. He also condemned the Indian attack carried out on the night of May 6 and 7 without any investigation into the Pahalgam incident.
\nHe said the attack resulted in the martyrdom of innocent civilians, and India completely failed to achieve its strategic objectives. \u201cPakistan responded decisively by targeting Indian aircraft and assets,\u201d he noted. He added that Pakistan had proposed a transparent and independent investigation into the Pahalgam attack, which India rejected. \u201cInstead of cooperating, India chose the path of aggression, unilaterally becoming judge, jury and executioner,\u201d he said.
\nKhan urged Indian leaders to admit their losses and recognise the need for third-party involvement in such matters. \u201cIn May 2025, Pakistan gave a robust and successful military response to Indian aggression,\u201d he reiterated. Rejecting India\u2019s narrative of a \u201cnew normal\u201d, Khan said Pakistan sees mutual respect for sovereignty and the UN Charter as the only foundation for bilateral relations.
\nHe also criticised Indian leaders\u2019 statements about the Indus Waters Treaty, calling them unfounded and in violation of international obligations. \u201cIndia\u2019s unilateral suspension of the treaty is an affront to global agreements,\u201d he said, adding that India\u2019s pride in unlawful actions is regrettable.
\nKhan slammed India for spreading disinformation, inciting war hysteria, and destabilising the region through inflammatory rhetoric. In contrast, Pakistan, he emphasised, seeks regional peace, stability, and meaningful dialogue. On the Pahalgam incident, he pointed out that the suspects had been eliminated even before India\u2019s parliamentary debate began, exposing the hollowness of the Indian narrative.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
