ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s Foreign Office denounced Indian National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, urging India’s youth to “avenge our history” and build a strong nation.
Foreign Office’s spokesperson Tahir Andrabi said that such remarks reflected “imagined historical vendettas” rather than “responsible statecraft”.
According to Indian media reports, Doval made the comments while addressing young people at an event in New Delhi, where he called on them to learn from India’s past struggles and use the powerful force of “vengeance” to ensure the country’s strength in areas including security and the economy.Responding to media queries, the Foreign Office spokesperson said the remarks were “hardly surprising coming from camouflaged hate-mongers,” adding that such narratives undermined regional peace and stability.
Pakistan-India tensions most recently escalated into a four-day conflict in May 2025, one of the worst military confrontations between Islamabad and New Delhi in decades, before a ceasefire was reached.
