Pakistan on Wednesday strongly rejected India’s “propaganda story” connecting Islamabad with the Pahalgam attack, and warned that such baseless allegations are not only Indians illegally popular Jammu and Kashmir (IIO JJK).
After the April 22 attack on April 22, Dar identified Pakistan’s serious concerns over unstable measures and provocations statements of India, addressing a press briefing with Director General (DG) Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR), ISPR).
He said that when Pakistan strongly condemns targeting innocent civilians, it was very important to admit that the country understands the pain of the affected people after suffering a lot of terrorism.
“As a victim of terrorism, no one can feel the suffering of those who are better affected by Pakistan,” Dar added, adding that Pakistan expressed its condolences and, together with the UN Security Council (UNSC), had engaged in a strong condemnation of the incident.
Dar criticized India for trying to link Pakistan without any evidence, and called it “deliberate and unfounded” to remove the international community from India’s own security failures by the failures of India’s own security in the IIOJK and the persecution of Kashmiris.
Highlighting the many sacrifices that Dar has made in the fight against terrorism, “India is continuing to glorify Pakistan and beyond its own killings and state patronage terrorism,” which includes more than 80,000 lives and the economic losses that exceed $ 150 billion.
Repeating the position of Pakistan, Dar made it clear that when Pakistan does not promote the situation, but any aggressive move in India will be met with a “appropriate and decisive response” from Pakistan. “The international community should consider the wider implications of India’s measures on regional stability,” he added.
The Foreign Minister also raised the question on the time of India, which suggested that the country deliberately focuses on its internal affairs, especially the Kashmir dispute, which is the main cause of instability in South Asia.
Dar emphasized that India’s allegations against Pakistan about the polgam attack were part of a long -standing model of terrorism charges for political benefits, which aims to suppress the right of Kashmiris’ right to self -determination and justify strict laws.
He called for a transparent investigation into the incident by independent international observers, as was suggested by Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif.
The Foreign Minister also expressed alarm over the Islamophic rhetoric spread by India against Kashmiris and Indian Muslims, and warned that such divisive statements would further destabilize the region.
On the unilateral suspension of India’s Indus Wates Agreement (IWT), Dar termed the move illegal, pointing out that the agreement could not be amended or abolished without mutual consent, as it was clearly stated in the framework of resolution of the dispute.
‘Unusual Questions’
Dar raised a number of important questions to look into the light of recent developments for the international community, including attempts to accuse India of inflammatory rhetoric and unmanageable attacks without proof.
“Is it not time for the world to be held accountable for India, including Pakistan, for its international killings?” Dar asked. “And is it not necessary for the victims to distinguish between legitimate sympathy and the unwanted verification of India’s violent behavior?”
“Three, isn’t that the purpose of Indian propaganda is to make a case for military adventures?”
“Four, don’t you think India’s clear neglect of international law and its responsibilities will lead to a highly unstable and unexpected regional order?”
“Five, is it not long that the international community can step into India and condemn it and prevent people from targeting people on the basis of Islamophobia and religious hatred?”
“Six, can we deny that dangerous Indian bronchials and increasing efforts can lead to the destructive consequences of the nuclear region and beyond?”
Dar concluded, “We are very vigilant,” the Armed Forces are vigilant, and the National Security Committee (NSC) is strong. The nation will thwart any misunderstanding, and will respond in a appropriate and decisive way at the time and place of our election. “
‘All preparations for response response’
The Pakistan Army has completed all preparations for a retaliation response, the DGISPR added that the Pakistani nation will defend its sovereignty and integrity at all costs.

Lieutenant General Chaudhry said that all the political parties of the country vowed to respond appropriately to any Indian aggression.
He said that the Pakistan Army is fully prepared to respond to any threat on all fronts, adding that the purpose of India’s strategy is to keep Pakistan busy on the eastern border.

He told the media that 1,666 terrorists were killed in these operations and 83 of them are high value targets.
“Security forces and law enforcement agencies are conducting more than 190 operations daily,” he added.
“Pakistan is the last strong wall against terrorism.”
‘We are ready, don’t test us’
The chief military spokesman has assured the nation that defense agencies are ready to defend the country at all times and have warned India against “patience test”.
“We are not the ones who are going to start aggression. We are a very responsible state and we will always be on the path of reasoning and constructive engagement. But if they think that the aggression is a way forward, then our message is just: We are ready – don’t test us.”
“Whether it’s the armed forces, the air, the navy, or any other defense organization, all are constantly busy preparing. We are always present everywhere. We are ready and ready to face all kinds of challenges.”
“If they [India] Choose the path of military confrontation, it will be their decision – but where it is ahead it will be ours. “
India Pakistan tensions

‘Irreparable evidence’

LT General Chaudhry clearly stated, “India is involved in cross -border terrorism under state patronage against Pakistan.
He added, “It has been seven days since the Phalgam attack, yet no evidence has been provided to prove the baseless allegations against Pakistan.”
The DGISPR said that India was found operating terrorist networks inside Pakistan, providing explosives, IEDs and other deadly material to terrorists not only security forces but also to target innocent civilians.
