ISLAMABAD, MAY 28 (ONLINE): Foreign Office (FO) spokesperson has said the threat by Modi for making water as weapon runs contrary to international principles.
A provocative statement of Indian Prime Minister Narendar Modi has once again come to fore wherein he not only used hate language against Pakistan but also he threatened to make Indus Basin Treaty as weapon.
Reacting to Indian PM statement Pakistan said Narendar Modi once again adopted provocative narrative.
The Foreign Office statement said that Modi’s comments marked a “troubling departure from international norms” and highlighted the disconnect between India’s regional conduct and its global aspirations.
The Indian PM intensified his rhetoric against Pakistan, describing recent cross-border incidents as part of a “deliberate war strategy” rather than mere proxy warfare. Speaking at a ceremony in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, on Tuesday, Modi warned that India would respond “accordingly” if confronted with acts of war.
“It is regrettable, though not entirely unexpected, that the Indian Prime Minister has, once again, set aside the ongoing project of historical revisionism and the internal repression of minorities to deliver yet another inflammatory monologue,” MOFA statement read
MOFA further stated that “the Indian government is linked to extraterritorial assassinations and foreign subversion,” and described India’s administration in Jammu and Kashmir as one marked by “systematic repression.”
“It is ironic that such a state now attempts to claim the mantle of victimhood,” the ministry added, accusing the current Indian government of promoting “mob violence,” “hate campaigns,” and “targeting religious minorities.”
Pakistan urged India to adhere to the “core principles of international order,” which include respect for sovereignty, treaty obligations, and restraint in rhetoric and conduct. “Jingoism may stir applause on the campaign trail, but it undermines long-term peace and stability,” the statement warned.
Indian youths should reject the politics of fear and take steps towards future based on dignity, argument and cooperation in region.
