ISLAMABAD, Aug 24 (APP): Pakistan on Wednesday categorically rejected India\u2019s purported closure of the highly irresponsible incident of firing of a rogue supersonic missile into Pakistani territory on March 9 and reiterated its demand for a joint probe.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs expected, the measures taken by India in the aftermath of the incident and the subsequent findings and punishments handed by the so-called internal Court of Inquiry are totally unsatisfactory, deficient and inadequate,\u201d the Foreign Office Spokesperson said in a press release.<\/p>\n
The spokesperson said that they had seen India\u2019s announcement of the findings of an internal Court of Inquiry regarding the incident of firing of a rogue supersonic missile into Pakistani territory on 9th March, 2022 and the decision to terminate the services of three Indian Air Force (IAF) officers reportedly found responsible for the reckless incident. <\/p>\n
The spokesperson said Pakistan reiterated its demand that the Indian government must immediately provide specific responses to the queries raised by Pakistan after the incident and accedes to its call for a joint probe.<\/p>\n
\u201cIndia has not only failed to respond to Pakistan’s demand for a joint inquiry, but has also evaded the questions raised by Pakistan regarding the command and control system in place in India, the safety and security protocols and the reason for India\u2019s delayed admission of the Missile launch,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The spokesperson further said that systemic loopholes and technical lapses of serious nature in handling of strategic weapons could not be covered up beneath the veneer of individual human error.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf indeed India has nothing to hide then it must accept Pakistan\u2019s demand for a joint probe in the spirit of transparency,\u201d it was stressed.<\/p>\n
The imprudent Indian action of March 9, 2022 had jeopardized the peace and security environment of the entire region. Pakistan\u2019s demonstration of exemplary restraint was a testament of our systemic maturity and abiding commitment to peace as a responsible nuclear state, it was added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
