Pakistan Wednesday warned India against any misadventure while rejecting Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'belligerent rhetoric' in which he claimed that "India will not take more than 7-10 days to make Pakistan bite the dust."
"Pakistan completely rejects Prime Minister Narendra Modi's irresponsible and war-mongering remarks," said Foreign Office Spokesperson Aisha Farooqui in response to Modi's remarks during a speech to Indian military personnel on Tuesday in New Delhi. "Our armed forces will not take more than 7-10 days to make Pakistan bite the dust," Modi said, adding, "Pakistan continues to wage a proxy war against India by backing terrorists in Kashmir." While commenting on Modi's provocative remarks, Aisha Farooqui said: "These remarks are another reflection of India's incurable obsession with Pakistan and the BJP government and leadership's desperate attempts to divert attention from growing domestic and international criticism of their discriminatory, anti-Kashmir and anti-minority policies.
She said that the Indian Prime Minister's threats and provocative statements further illustrate the extremist mindset that pervades the BJP leadership and has evidently permeated the state institutions in India. Warning India against any misadventure, the spokesperson recalled that Pakistan's immediate and effective response to India's Balakot misadventure, including the downing of Indian fighter aircraft and capture of Indian pilot last year, should suffice to underscore the will, capacity and preparedness of Pakistan armed forces. "No one should underestimate the resolve of the people and the armed forces of Pakistan to effectively thwart any aggressive action," she warned. The spokesperson also urged the international community to take cognizance of the Indian leadership's continuing belligerent rhetoric and aggressive measures, which pose a threat to regional peace and security. "We hope steps would be taken to facilitate peaceful resolution of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute for durable peace and stability in South Asia," she added.
