ISLAMABAD: Foreign Office (FO) rejected baseless and frivolous accusations made by Indian Minister of External Affairs targeting Pakistan.

Responding to media queries, Foreign Office spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said Indian External Affairs Minister’s latest tirade is reflection of growing frustration over India’s failure to malign and isolate Pakistan.

She said for last several years, India has engaged in malicious campaign to mislead international community through fictitious narrative of victimhood and vile anti-Pakistan propaganda. This practice must stop.

Spokesperson said India’s continued anti-Pakistan diatribe cannot hide its brazen involvement in fomenting terrorism on Pakistan’s soil; nor can it conceal reality of state-sponsored terrorism in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

She said instead of pointing fingers at others, India should itself end its involvement in terrorism, subversion and espionage against Pakistan. Only few weeks ago, dossier was released containing irrefutable evidence that substantiated India’s involvement in 2021 terrorist attack in peaceful Lahore neighbourhood.

She said that from death of over 40 Pakistani nationals on Indian soil in 2007 Samjhota Express tragedy to arrest of Kulbhushan Jadhav, a serving Commander of Indian Navy from within Pakistan in 2016, evidence of Indian involvement in terrorism and sabotage is irrefutable and spans over decades and geographies.
