Pak Sahafat – Pakistan reacted to what it called the provocative and irresponsible statements of the Indian Defense Minister and warned its eastern neighbor that New Delhi should avoid any miscalculations for the invasion, otherwise it will face a crushing response from Islamabad.
According to Pak Sahafat News Agency from the Spokesperson’s Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan, the country condemned the statements of the Indian Defense Minister in his speech in the “Ladakh” region of India today and claimed that New Delhi should stop making provocative statements such as aggression and crossing the neighboring borders.
The spokesperson of Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry blamed what he called India’s warmongering approach and added: Pakistan advises India to exercise utmost caution as its warmongering rhetoric poses a threat to regional peace and stability and will only destabilize the strategic environment in South Asia.
The government of Islamabad called for the resolution of the Kashmir dispute based on the resolutions of the UN Security Council and said that the statements of Indian officials against the sovereignty of the areas under the control of Pakistan (Azad Jammu Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan) are irresponsible and the leaders of India should be reminded that Pakistan is fully capable of is to defend himself against any aggression.

The spokesperson of Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry added that Kashmir is an accepted dispute at the international level and any decision about the fate of the Muslim people of Kashmir should be made in accordance with their aspirations and holding a referendum.
The governments of Pakistan and India, as nuclear rivals in South Asia, have experienced the lowest level of diplomatic relations with each other for more than four years.
The porous borders of the two nuclear neighbors of South Asia, after a few years of relative peace, witnessed clashes between each other’s border guards in early July this year, and Pakistan accused the Indian forces of firing into its territory and killing 2 Pakistani civilians.
After that, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan summoned the Indian Chargé d’Affaires in Islamabad to protest the violation of border ceasefire by Indian forces along the Line of Control in Kashmir.
The National Security Committee of Pakistan, in response to this plan of the Indian government, stopped all commercial relations and economic activities between the two countries, along with an unprecedented reduction in the level of diplomatic relations.
Since then, Pakistan and India, as traditional rivals in South Asia, lack ambassadors in each other’s capitals, and the embassies of the two countries also work with a reduced level of diplomats.
