Pakistan on Monday rejected the comments by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MEA) of India accusing Pakistan of nuclear blackmail, qualifying the deceptive and without foundation accusations.
In response to the media consultations on the Declaration of the Indian MEA on the comments attributed to the Munir Mariscal, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that Islamabad considered the Indian accusations as “another demonstration of its chronic tendency to distort facts and declarations twisted outside of context.”
“The Indian narrative of an alleged ‘nuclear blackmail’ is a misleading and selfish construction. Pakistan remains firmly opposite to the use or threat of force use,” the statement said.
He criticized the “Saber slots of India and the War of War every time they face”, which said “invite unfounded accusations without rationality.”
Pakistan reaffirmed his status as a “state of nuclear weapon responsible with a control and control structure elaborated under total civil control”, emphasizing that “he has always exercised discipline and moderation” in issues of this gravity.
The FO highlighted the “sustained and credible anti -terrorist efforts of Pakistan who have received international recognition and dismissed the statements of the Indian mea as” hustle insinuations … without a pinch of evidence. “
The statement also criticized India for invoking other countries to press Pakistan, qualifying the “useless” moving and a “useless attempt to unnecessarily involve other countries”, which said “reflects the lack of diplomatic confidence of India.”
Pakistan promised to “continue acting as a responsible member of the Nations Community”, but warned that “any act of Indian aggression or violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Pakistan will be fulfilled with an immediate and coincident response.” “The responsibility of any resulting escalation will rest directly with the Indian leadership,” the statement concluded.

India on Monday accused Pakistan of “Sabre Rattling” and “irresponsibility” after the media reports about alleged comments on nuclear threats in southern Asia made by Coas Munir while visiting the United States.
Indian Media reports, citing Fuentes, cited the Marshal of Campo also saying: “We are a nuclear nation. If we believe we are going down, we will take half of the world.” An extract of his speech shared by Pakistani security officials did not include the comments of the “nuclear nation”.
Randhir Jaiswal, spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of India, said: “The noise of Nuclear Sabre is the stock in Pakistan’s trade,” he added: “The international community can draw its own conclusions on the irresponsibility inherent in such comments.” He said it was also unfortunate that the reported comments had been made in a third friendly country.

In a version of the speech shared by Pakistani security officials, Munir’s Marshal said: “Aggression (India) has led the region to the edge of a dangerously increasing war, where a bilateral conflict due to any calculation error will be a serious error.”
He was on a visit to the United States to attend a farewell event for General Michael Kurilla, the 15th Commander of the United States Central Command. India previously presented a private diplomatic protest with Washington when President Donald Trump organized him for a lunch at the White House in June.
Analysts have said that India’s disagreement with Washington during the top of May 10 with Pakistan, and Trump’s renewed commitment to Islamabad, have contributed to a recent setback in ties between India and the United States under the Trump administration.
