Pakistan on Wednesday rejected the \u201cbaseless and frivolous\u201d accusations made by Indian External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, saying his latest tirade is a \u201creflection of growing frustration\u201d over New Dehli\u2019s failure to malign and isolate Islamabad.
\nEarlier this week, the Indian minister made a veiled attack on Pakistan during a press conference in Vienna along with his Austrian counterpart Alexander Schallenberg.
\n\u201cWe spoke on the threats to international peace and security that are posed by terrorism, including its cross-border practices, violent extremism, radicalization and fundamentalism. Their effects cannot be contained within a region especially so when they are deeply connected to narcotics and illegal weapons trade, and other forms of international crime. Since the epicentre is located so close to India, naturally our experiences and insights are useful to others,\u201d he alleged.
\nResponding to media queries today, Foreign Office Spokesperson Mumtaz Zehra Baloch said: \u201cPakistan rejects the baseless and frivolous accusations made by the Indian External Affairs Minister. His latest tirade is a reflection of growing frustration over India\u2019s failure to malign and isolate Pakistan.\u201d
\nShe said for last several years, India has engaged in a malicious campaign to mislead the international community through a fictitious narrative of victimhood and vile anti-Pakistan propaganda. This practice must stop.
\nThe Spokesperson said India’s continued anti-Pakistan diatribe cannot hide its brazen involvement in fomenting terrorism on Pakistan’s soil; nor can it conceal the reality of state-sponsored terrorism in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
\nShe said instead of pointing fingers at others, India should itself end its involvement in terrorism, subversion and espionage against Pakistan. Only a few weeks ago, a dossier was released containing irrefutable evidence that substantiated India’s involvement in the 2021 terrorist attack in a peaceful Lahore neighbourhood.
\nShe further said that from the death of over 40 Pakistani nationals on Indian soil in the 2007 Samjhota Express tragedy to the arrest of Kulbhushan Jadhav, a serving Commander of Indian Navy, from within Pakistan in 2016, the evidence of Indian involvement in terrorism and sabotage is irrefutable and spans over decades and geographies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
