ISLAMABAD: Foreign Office Spokesperson Dr Muhammad Faisal on Thursday said the threatening statements emanating from the top Indian leadership against Pakistan should be a matter of concern for the international community.
“The international community should also take notice and get stopped the ongoing Indian atrocities in Occupied Kashmir,” he said while responding to the queries of media persons at his weekly news briefing about Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s tirade against Pakistan in the United Kingdom.
He categorically dismissed Indian claims of surgical strikes terming them as farcical.
Rejecting Indian allegations of terrorism, the spokesperson reminded it was actually India which was perpetrating acts of terrorism.
He said Indian spy Kulbhushan Yadav was a living proof of who exported terrorism. He said the Indian allegations were false gimmickry to divert world’s attention from its heinous crimes against humanity in occupied Kashmir.
