NEW DELHI: Responding to Pakistanallegations of “sponsorship terrorism“To destabilize the country, India called it a” desperate “attempt on Sunday that will find few interested parties, as the international community is aware of Islamabad’s tactics.
In response to media inquiries about the press conference from Pakistani officials, Foreign Ministry Anurag Srivastava said it was another futile anti-India propaganda exercise.
Pakistan had claimed on Saturday that it has “extensive evidence of an alleged role of India in terrorist attacks within its territory, ranging from Baluchistan to Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, as well as in Gilgit-Baltistan. ”
The MEA said that the so-called “proof” claims against India are not credible, fabricated and represented by the imagination.
“This desperate attempt will find few interested parties, as the international community is aware of Pakistan’s tactics and the proof of its terrorist patronage has been admitted by none other than its own leadership,” the MEA spokesman said.
Srivastava added: “The face of global terror, Osama bin Laden, was found in Pakistan; The Prime Minister of Pakistan glorified him as a “martyr” from the floor of Parliament; admitted the presence of 40,000 terrorists in Pakistan; his minister proudly claimed the participation and success of Pakistan, led by his prime minister, in the Pulwama terrorist attack in which 40 Indian soldiers were martyred. ”
Despite repeated calls for restraint and compliance with the 2003 ceasefire agreement for the maintenance of peace and quiet, Pakistani forces continue to provide cover fire in support of infiltrators. The incessant infiltration of terrorists and the induction of weapons to fuel terrorist activities continues unabated. Activities are not possible without the support of Pakistani forces deployed throughout the LoC.
“The press conference was a deliberate attempt by the Pakistani establishment to change the focus of its internal political and economic failures. It also seeks to justify cross-border terrorism, including ceasefire violations and infiltration of the LoC and the IB.” , the MEA said.
India called on Pakistan to “end its support” for cross-border terrorism.
“India is not the only neighbor to have been targeted, as underlined by statements from countries that have been similarly attacked. Distant parts of the world have seen the trail of terror return to Pakistan. Document making and Selling false narratives will not absolve Pakistan of such actions. We trust the world to hold it accountable, “the MEA added.
On Saturday, Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi held a press conference together with army spokesman Major General Babar Iftikhar to affirm that India was behind some of the terror attacks in his country.
“We have irrefutable facts that we will present to the nation and the international community through this dossier,” Qureshi said.
Qureshi claimed that the Pakistani dossier reveals the “deepening nexus” between Indian intelligence agencies and UN-designated terrorist organizations, including Jamaat-ul Ahrar, Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, Baloch Liberation Army, Balochistan Liberation Front. and Baloch Republic Army.
