ISLAMABAD
\nPakistan on Saturday firmly rejected the irresponsible assertions made by the Indian External Affairs Minister, aimed at deflecting attention from its own troubling record as a neighbour that promotes terrorism and contributes to regional instability.
\nIn response to media queries regarding remarks made by the Indian Minister of External Affairs about Pakistan, the Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Tahir Andrabi, said India\u2019s documented involvement in promoting terrorist activities in the region, particularly in Pakistan, \u201cis well known\u201d.
\nHe added that the case of Commander Kulbhushan Jadhav remained a stark example of organised, state-sponsored terrorism directed against Pakistan. \u201cEqually concerning are recurring instances of extraterritorial killings, sabotage through proxies, and covert support to terrorist networks. This pattern is consistent with the extremist ideology of Hindutva and its violent proponents,\u201d Ambassador Andrabi added.
\n\u201cIndia continues its illegal and violent military occupation of Jammu and Kashmir,\u201d he said, adding Pakistan remains steadfast in its commitment to extend full political, moral, and diplomatic support to the Kashmiri people in their just struggle to realise their right to self-determination, as enshrined in relevant UN Security Council resolutions.
\nThe foreign office spokesperson underlined that the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) is an international agreement concluded in good faith and at considerable cost. He cautioned that any unilateral violation of the Treaty by India would undermine regional stability and call into question its credibility as a state that claims to respect international legal obligations.
\n\u201cPakistan will take all necessary measures to safeguard its legitimate rights under the Treaty,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
