Islamabad: Pakistan has rejected India's baseless propaganda to link it to the Pahalgam incident.

According to Radio Pakistan, Foreign Office Spokesperson Tahir Andrabi stated that, at a time when Pakistan, along with its international partners, is undertaking diplomatic efforts for regional and international peace and security, it is deplorable that India has resorted to a campaign of baseless allegations and propaganda to link Pakistan with the Pahalgam incident.

He further mentioned that it is unfortunate that, amid an ongoing regional crisis, India remains focused on weaponizing its false narrative against Pakistan for narrow domestic political gains.

Tahir Andrabi highlighted that, after receiving a response to its adventurism in the form of Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos last year, such allegations are yet another chapter from India's strategy of creating a smokescreen for its continued sponsorship of terrorism across the region.

The spokesperson emphasized that such propaganda campaigns cannot distract the international community's attention from India's continued occupation of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir and its denial of the right to self-determination to the Kashmiris, in violation of relevant UN resolutions. Nor can such strategies conceal the fact that India continues to undermine regional peace and security by resorting to inflammatory rhetoric, repeated provocations, and aggressive military posturing, including its illegal unilateral action to hold the Indus Waters Treaty in abeyance, in clear violation of international law.

He expressed hope that the international community will call on India to demonstrate responsible behavior and refrain from rhetoric and actions that may disrupt ongoing efforts aimed at regional and international peace and security.
