Islamabad (TDI): Pakistan on Thursday reiterated that India’s fictitious narrative of victimhood could not hide its involvement in fomenting terrorism on Pakistan’s soil and the state-sanctioned oppression in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).
Foreign Office spokesperson Shafqat Ali Khan, at his weekly media briefing, stated that Indian involvement in fanning terrorism in Pakistan and destabilizing Balochistan was proven.
Referring to Indian involvement in global killing plots, he said that New Delhi had been sponsoring such unlawful activities in the entire region.
“Instead of blaming others, India should reflect on its own record of orchestrating targeted killings, subversion and terrorism in other states,” he said, adding that India had not condemned the recent attack on Jaffar Express in Balochistan.
Khan said that Islamabad was alarmed over the increased frequency of Indian government’s unwarranted assertions about Jammu and Kashmir.
He said it was India that took Jammu and Kashmir issue to the UN in 1948 so it had no right to blame the UNSC and its erstwhile members for the resolutions that were subsequently adopted.

“Repetition of baseless claims cannot deny the fact that Jammu and Kashmir is a globally recognized disputed territory whose final status is to be determined by its people through a Unoted Nations-supervised plebiscite, as stipulated in the relevant UNSC resolutions.”
Asked to comment on the reports of the visit of some Pakistani nationals to Israel, he said the foreign ministry had nothing to do with that as the information on the issue was being gathered.
However, he categorically explained that Islamabad’s position on the recognition of Israel and the rights of the Palestinian people was firm and unchanged.
Regarding the inclusion of Pakistani citizens in certain visa restriction categories, he said that both the US State Department and Foreign Office had refuted the speculative reports on social media.

He also condemned Israel’s vicious attacks against the people of West Bank and Gaza, terming it a flagrant violation of the ceasefire deal, international humanitarian law; the UN Charter; and hampers the confidence and faith in the international community and international law.
