Pakistan rejects India's 'preposterous' statement on 'targeted actions' against terrorist infrastructure in Afghanistan

Islamabad (Web Desk): Pakistan has rejected India’s baseless statement on Islamabad's legitimate, targeted and proportionate actions against terrorist infrastructure in Afghanistan.

This was stated by Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Tahir Andrabi, while responding to media question seeking Pakistan's reaction to the statement made by the Ministry of External Affairs of India.

“This preposterous statement has been made by a country that has historically interfered in and undermined the sovereignty and territorial integrity of its neighbouring countries, in contravention of the UN Charter, and continues to suppress the right to self-determination of the Kashmiris in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, in violation of the relevant UN resolutions,” he said.

Andrabi said that India has also been actively aiding and sponsoring terrorist groups operating from Afghan soil against Pakistan, in violation of the relevant UN Security Council sanctions regime, and continues to play the role of a regional spoiler.

He said that India's baseless accusations and inflammatory statements against Pakistan must not be entertained.

“Pakistan has been and will continue to take all appropriate measures to uphold the safety and security of its citizens in accordance with international law,” the FO spokesperson said.

On June 28, Pakistan’s security forces had carried out an intelligence-based operation (IBO) along the Pakistan-Afghan border, followed by calibrated strikes against terrorist hideouts and safe havens, killing 25 terrorists.

The development had come after terrorists had attacked a local headquarter of the Pakistan Rangers Sindh in Karachi’s Gulistan-i-Jauhar area, during which three security personnel were martyred.
