Pakistan garbage Indian claim for attack on the golden temple

Pakistan has rejected as “without foundation” claims by a senior officer of the Indian army that Islamabad had tried to point to the golden temple, with drones and missiles in the state of Punjab of the city of Amritsar of India, earlier this month.

A spokesman for the Foreign Ministry of Pakistan, who responded to the comments made by a senior officer of the Indian Army, said Tuesday: “We categorically reject the accusations that Pakistan tried to point to the golden temple, the most venerated place in the SIJ faith.”

“We have all the places of worship in the highest esteem and we cannot think of attacking a sacred site such as the golden temple,” added the spokesman.

The spokesman also said that India had attacked multiple religious sites in Pakistan on May 6 and 7.

Pakistan also highlighted his role in facilitating Sij religious pilgrimage, pointing out his access initiative without visa for international pilgrims visiting the Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Kartarpur.

“Pakistan is the proud custodian of many sacred sites of the SIJ faith,” said the statement. “Every year, he welcomes thousands of Sij pilgrims from around the world. Pakistan also provides access without visa to the Gurdwara Sahib Kartarpur through the Kartarpur corridor.”

“In that backdrop, any claim on Pakistan’s attempt to aim at the golden temple is absolutely unfounded and incorrect,” the spokesman reiterated.

India-Pakistan facing

The last climb between Pakistan and India began on April 22, when an attack in the city of Pahalgam of Iiojk Resort killed 26 people. India immediately blamed Pakistan for the incident, despite not providing public evidence.

In response, India carried out a series of hostile actions the next day of April 23, including the suspension of the 65-year-old Indus Water Treaty (IWT), canceling the visas for Pakistani citizens, closing the border crossing of Wagah-Attari, ordering the closure of Pakistan’s high commission in New Delhi, and reduction of the diplomatic staff of the crosses.

Pakistan strongly rejected the accusation, qualifying it without foundation, but took reciprocal measures through its National Security Committee (NSC). These included stopping the trade with India, closing the Pakistani airspace to the Indian aircraft and other contracts.

Tensions intensified even more in the early hours of May 7, when missile attacks hit six cities in Punjab and Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), destroying a mosque and killing dozens of civilians, including women, children and elders.

In a rapid military response, Pakistan’s armed forces knocked down the Indian combat planes, including three Rafale aircraft, widely considered as a key asset of the Indian Air Force. During the next two days, India launched waves of Israeli manufacturing drones, which were also neutralized by the Pakistan army.

The confrontation intensified again in the early hours of May 10, when India attacked several Pakistani air bases with missile attacks. In retaliation, Pakistan launched the Bunyanum Marsoos operation, damaging Indian military facilities, including missile storage sites, air bases and other strategic objectives.

For Saturday night, the president of the United States, Donald Trump, announced that the fire had been reached after intense diplomatic efforts during the night. Minutes later, the agreement was confirmed separately by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan, Ishaq Dar, and the Secretary of Foreign Affairs of India.

But despite the high military fire, the war of narratives has fought.

While Pakistan publicly accredited the president of the United States, Donald Trump, together with China and the Gulf states, for playing a vital role in the disable of tensions, India minimized foreign participation.

Indian officials have insisted that the truce was the result of direct bilateral conversations.

However, Trump has reiterated his position twice after the initial announcement.
