Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi has warned that India is planning to launch a fresh military aggression against the country, calling for the world community’s intervention to dissuade New Delhi from endangering regional peace and stability. Qureshi said Pakistan has formally shared the authentic information and conveyed its apprehensions to diplomats in Islamabad representing the five permanent member countries of the United Nations Security Council. The FM warned that if India committed any aggression they would give a befitting answer in light of nation’s aspirations and international laws. He said the news of another military action could be heard from India and so far no contradiction of it was received which was an issue of serious concern. He said at a time when Pakistan was going to release 360 Indian prisoners voluntarily they were going to commit another aggression against it. He said they exposed ugly Indian face before the world and today the world had acknowledged Pakistan’s responsible conduct.
He said if India was ready to sit for talks even after their elections, they would sit with them. He said he had decided to explain the facts before the world after consultation with the Prime Minister.
He said India further increased oppression in occupied Kashmir after Pulwama incident and the voice of Kashmiris was being suppressed with utmost brutality. He declared Pakistan would continue to extend full diplomatic, legal and moral support to the Kashmiris in future like the past. He said Pakistan shot down their two jets in retaliation to their aggression and they hit their own chopper and killed six army men. He said there was no pressure on Pakistan but we still released their captured pilot to send out the message of peace and de-escalate the situation.
The circumstances show that India is not ready to learn from any event or history. After the Pulwama incident, India received befitting response from Pakistan’s armed forces. Its false claims regarding surgical strike were rejected by the world and it achieved nothing but embarrassment as its defence capability were badly exposed. In that episode, Pakistan’s armed forces had proved their professionalism, competency and readiness against any external threats. Indian PM Modi is unpredictable but If he launches any aggression then India will again receive stern rejoinder from Pakistan. India needs to learn from the world and should focus on combating poverty, illiteracy, unemployment and other challenges instead of waging wars on others. International community should also take notice of this irresponsible and hostile behavior and warn India against treading this path which is detrimental for peace and stability in the region.
