The Ministry of Foreign Affairs criticized the recent comments of the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on regional peace on Monday, calling them “deceitful and unilateral” while accused New Delhi of ignoring the Kashmira dispute.
Modi, in a podcast interview with the American podcaster Lex Fridman, said that India’s efforts to establish peace with Pakistan had “found hostility and betrayal.” He expressed the hope that “wisdom would prevail” in Islamabad to improve bilateral relations.
In response, the Pakistan Ministry of Foreign Affairs dismissed Modi’s comments, accusing India of promoting a “fictitious narrative of the victim” while it was involved in promoting militancy in the Pakistani soil and suppressing the dissent in the Kashmir administered by India.
“Instead of blaming others, India should reflect on their own orchestrate registration of specific murders, subversion and terrorism in foreign territories,” said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a statement.
The Pakistan Foreign Ministry reiterated its position to solve all pending problems, including Jammu and Kashmir, through “constructive commitment and results -oriented dialogue.” The FO spokesman also referred to accusations against Indian agents for consigning murders abroad.
The FO also declared that peace and stability in southern Asia remain “hostages of the rigid approach of India and hegemonic ambitions.” “The Anti-Pakistan narrative, which emanates from India, vicia the bilateral environment and prevents the perspectives of peace and cooperation,” he said. “It must stop.”
In January 2024, Pakistan accused India of “extraterritorial” and “extrajudicial” murders of two of its citizens on Pakistani soil. Islamabad has long accused New Delhi to support militancy in its western provinces, particularly in Baluchistan.
