Islamabad: Pakistan has categorically rejected the irresponsible remarks made by the External Affairs Minister of India during different media engagements in Brussels.

According to Radio Pakistan, the Foreign Office, in a statement on Wednesday, emphasized that the discourse of top diplomats should aim to promote peace and harmony, rather than producing bellicose punchlines. It stressed that the tone and tenor of a Foreign Minister should be commensurate with his dignified status.

The statement highlighted that for the last several years, India has been engaged in a malicious campaign to mislead the international community through a fictitious narrative of victimhood. It underscored that India’s continued anti-Pakistan diatribe cannot hide its sponsorship of terrorism beyond its borders, nor can it cover up the state-sanctioned oppression in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir. Instead of pointing fingers at others, India should introspect on its own involvement in terrorism, subversion, and targeted assassinations.

Furthermore, the statement urged India to desist from concocting misleading narratives to justify its recent aggressive actions. Pakistan reiterated its belief in peaceful coexistence, dialogue, and diplomacy. However, it stands resolute in its intent and ability to safeguard its sovereignty against any aggression, as exemplified by its robust response to India’s reckless strikes last month.

The Foreign Office also remarked that the narrative emerging from India reflects sheer frustration following an unsuccessful military adventure against Pakistan. It advised Indian leaders to improve the standard of their discourse and discard their obsession with Pakistan. The statement concluded by asserting that history will judge not by who shouted the loudest but by who acted the wisest.
