Islamabad (Big Digit): Pakistan Foreign Office Spokesperson Shafqat Ali Khan has said that Operation Mahadev has no importance for us, the statements of the Indian Interior Minister are fabricated, Pakistan rejects the provocative statements of Indian leaders on Operation Sindoor, India failed to achieve any of its strategic goals, Pakistan’s armed forces responded effectively to Indian aggression. During a media briefing in Islamabad, Foreign Office Spokesperson Shafqat Ali Khan said that after the Pahalgam attack, India itself continued to play the role of judge, jury and executioner. It is a strange coincidence that the alleged accused of the Pahalgam incident were killed at the beginning of the Indian Lok Sabha debate. India is targeting innocent people in the name of Operation Mahadev, Pakistan will give a befitting reply to any aggression.
He said that we reject the statements of Indian leaders on the Indus Waters Treaty, India is relying on misinformation and war madness. On this occasion, the Foreign Office spokesperson said that the Deputy Prime Minister was on an official visit to the United States, on July 24, he chaired a meeting on UN and Islamic Cooperation. The spokesperson bluntly said that there has been no change in its policy on the occupied Jammu and Kashmir dispute and various speculations about the Deputy Prime Minister’s statement on Kashmir are baseless and unnecessary. Shafqat Ali Khan said that Pakistan has always maintained that the final status of Jammu and Kashmir should be decided in accordance with the relevant UN Security Council resolutions and the wishes of the Kashmiri people. On the Deputy Prime Minister’s alleged statement about Dr. Aafia Siddiqui, he clarified that there has been no change in Pakistan’s position on this issue either. The spokesperson said that during the Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister’s conversation with the Atlantic Council in the United States, the case of Dr. Aafia Siddiqui was being mentioned in a wrong manner. He said that the PML-N government led by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has always pursued diplomatic and legal means for the release of Dr. Aafia Siddiqui and is committed to this goal. Shafqat Ali Khan said that since the conviction of Dr. Aafia Siddiqui in 2010, Pakistan has prioritized her case and has provided high-level diplomacy, mercy appeals, consular access and legal assistance to protect her rights and humanitarian aspects. He expressed regret over attempts to distort the government’s efforts on social media. The spokesperson said that the government will continue to vigorously and continuously struggle for the release of Dr. Aafia Siddiqui and during this, international laws and principles of bilateral cooperation will be taken into account. The Foreign Office’s reaction to the debate in the Indian Parliament on Operation Sindoor has come out. According to the spokesperson, Pakistan rejects the baseless and provocative statements of Indian leaders on Operation Sindoor. Such statements reflect the dangerous tendency of escalating conflicts. The spokesperson said that India attacked Pakistan without investigation and evidence of the Pahalgam attack. India attacked Pakistan on the intervening night of May 6 and 7. Innocent children, women and men were martyred in the Indian attack. Pakistan achieved a brilliant success in neutralizing Indian fighter jets and military targets, which is an undeniable fact. Pakistan will give a befitting reply to any possible aggression in the future as well. The spokesperson advised the Indian leadership to admit the losses of its armed forces instead of misleading the Indian people. India should accept the role of a third party in implementing the ceasefire. He said that the Prime Minister of Pakistan offered India an investigation into the Pahalgam attack, but India did not take advantage of the offer of an inquiry by the Prime Minister of Pakistan. India acted as judge, jury and executioner at the same time. The Foreign Office spokesperson said that Ishaq Dar visited the United States from July 20 to 28 and chaired a meeting of the United Nations Security Council, where he presented Pakistan’s point of view. Ishaq Dar also had other engagements in Washington. During this time, he also met with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in which the global and regional situation was discussed.
