| 2016-12-16 |
| [DAWN] The Foreign Office (FO) on Thursday strongly condemned Indian Home Minister Rajnath Singh's "irresponsible statements" earlier this week, terming them a 'complete violation of international norms', Radio Pakistain reported. According to Indian media, Rajnath Singh had said Pakistain would "soon be in ten pieces" if cross-border terrorism does not come to an end. "Pakistain has been divided into 2 countries (in 1971). If it does not stop cross-border terrorism, it will soon be in 10 pieces," Singh had said. FO Spokesperson Nafees Zakaria alleged Singh's remarks vindicated Pakistain's long-standing position that the Indian government and its intelligence agencies are involved in subversive activities in Pakistain and are trying to destabilise it. He called on the world community to take notice of Singh's "irresponsible statements", as well as alleged Indian interference in Pakistain. Zakaria said Pakistain believes the peaceful way is the best method for resolution of outstanding issues between Pakistain and India, including the Kashmire dispute. |
