Operation Sindoor: Pak calls itself 'proactive partner against terror' after Modi warns Islamabad of economic collapse
Denying India's charges of sponsoring terrorism and accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi of "misleading" the international community, Pakistan claimed it is a "proactive partner in the global fight against terrorism”.
Rejecting Modi's charges during a programme in Rajasthan on Thursday, Pakisan's foreign office on Friday charged Modi's remarks were "clearly aimed at stoking regional tensions for narrow political gains." Pakistan said Modi's comments were a "grave breach of the United Nations Charter and established principles of international law."
"Pakistan remained a consistent and proactive partner in the global fight against terrorism. Any insinuation seeking to associate Pakistan with acts of terrorism is factually incorrect and patently misleading," Dawn reported quoting the foreign office.
Pakistan said it is firmly committed to “peaceful coexistence". The neighbouring country however added, "Our desire for peace should not be misconstrued as weakness."
Pakistan's comments come after Prime Minister Modi warned the neighbouring nation of economic collapse if it continued to export terrorism into India. Modi, attending a programme in Rajasthan on Thursday, declared there will be no trade talks with Pakistan, and the only discussion India is willing to have is about Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
The comments come amid heightened tensions between the neighbouring nations in the aftermath of Operation Sindoor. India launched the military operation on May 7 to avenge the killings of 26 persons in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam on April 22. Pakistan-linked terrorists allegedly carried out the attacks. India struck terror launchpads at nine locations along the Line of Control to avenge the Pahalgam terror attack.
However, in retaliation, Pakistan launched projectiles and drones targeting Indian military assets along the LoC and International Border on May 8,9 and 10. India and Pakistan agreed to stop firing following a hotline conversation between the Director General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of both nations. India has now sent delegations to partner countries to highlight Pakistan-sponsored terrorism.
