“India’s [deliberate] firing at LoC on UNMOGIP vehicle, despite clear UN markings [and] flying blue UN flag, shows India’s total disregard for all international norms of acceptable state behaviour and respect for international law and UN,” he said adding that Pakistan strongly condemns this rogue behaviour.

The prime minister said that he wanted to warn the world community again as India’s internal problems mount, especially economic recession, growing farmers protests, and mishandling of COVID 19, the Modi-led government will divert from the internal mess by conducting a false flag operation against Pakistan.
