Summary Pakistan rejected India's statement on its actions in Afghanistan, calling it baseless, and said it will continue taking measures to protect its citizens in line with international law
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Pakistan rejected the baseless statement by the Indian Ministry of External Affairs on Pakistan's legitimate, targeted and proportionate actions against terrorist infrastructure in Afghanistan.
Foreign Office Spokesperson Tahir Andrbi said, “This preposterous statement has been made by a country that has historically interfered in and undermined the sovereignty and territorial integrity of its neighbouring countries, in contravention of the UN Charter, and continues to suppress the right to self-determination of the Kashmiris in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, in violation of the relevant UN resolutions”.
India has also been actively aiding and sponsoring terrorist groups operating from Afghan soil against Pakistan, in violation of the relevant UN Security Council sanctions regime, and continues to play the role of a regional spoiler. Its baseless accusations and inflammatory statements against Pakistan must not be entertained.
Pakistan has been and will continue to take all appropriate measures to uphold the safety and security of its citizens in accordance with international law, Andrabi said.
