Vacate Indian Territory,’ India Replies to Pak’s J&K Remarks on PM Modi’s Podcast
India has responded sharply to Pakistan’s remarks on Jammu and Kashmir, asking the neighboring country to “vacate Indian territory under its illegal occupation” instead of spreading lies. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) issued a statement in response to Pakistan’s comments, which came after Prime Minister Narendra Modi criticized the country for its hostility and betrayal.
The MEA’s statement was a clear rebuke to Pakistan, which has been making provocative statements about Jammu and Kashmir, a disputed region that has been a flashpoint between the two countries for decades. The MEA said that instead of spreading lies, Pakistan should focus on addressing the real issue, which is its active promotion of cross-border terrorism.
The statement came after Prime Minister Modi criticized Pakistan for its hostility and betrayal in a podcast interview, in which he said that Pakistan was playing with fire by spreading terrorism and hatred. The MEA’s statement was a follow-up to Modi’s remarks, and it emphasized that India will not be intimidated by Pakistan’s aggressive rhetoric.
“Pakistan should stop spreading lies and misinformation about Jammu and Kashmir. Instead, it should vacate Indian territory under its illegal occupation,” the MEA statement said. “The international community is aware of the real issue, which is Pakistan’s active promotion of cross-border terrorism, and not the fictional narrative that Pakistan is trying to peddle.”
The MEA’s statement was a clear reference to Pakistan’s claims about Jammu and Kashmir, which it has been making in recent weeks. Pakistan has been trying to internationalize the issue by seeking to raise it at the United Nations, but India has been countering by highlighting Pakistan’s human rights abuses and terrorism in the region.
India has long maintained that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of the country and that any territorial dispute with Pakistan is a bilateral issue that needs to be resolved through dialogue and diplomacy. However, Pakistan has refused to engage in meaningful talks with India, and instead has been trying to internationalize the issue by seeking to raise it at the United Nations and other international forums.
The MEA’s statement was also seen as a response to Pakistan’s attempt to project itself as a victim of Indian aggression. Pakistan has been making claims about Indian aggression in Jammu and Kashmir, but the MEA’s statement highlighted the fact that it is Pakistan that is responsible for the violence and terrorism in the region.
“Pakistan’s attempts to project itself as a victim of Indian aggression are laughable. The facts are clear – it is Pakistan that is responsible for the violence and terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir,” the MEA statement said. “India has always been committed to peace and stability in the region, and we will continue to work towards that goal.”
The MEA’s statement was also seen as a message to Pakistan’s civilian and military leadership, which has been making aggressive statements about India in recent weeks. The statement was a clear warning to Pakistan that it will not be allowed to continue to spread terrorism and hatred in the region.
“Pakistan’s military and civilian leadership should take note of the MEA’s statement and realize that India will not be intimidated by their aggressive rhetoric,” said an Indian diplomat, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The MEA’s statement was also seen as a response to Pakistan’s attempts to link Jammu and Kashmir to the Kashmir issue in Pakistan. Pakistan has been trying to project the Kashmir issue in Pakistan as a separate issue from Jammu and Kashmir, but the MEA’s statement highlighted the fact that the two issues are linked.
“Pakistan’s attempts to separate the Kashmir issue in Pakistan from Jammu and Kashmir are unrealistic and unsustainable. The two issues are linked, and Pakistan needs to recognize that,” the MEA statement said.
The MEA’s statement was a clear rebuke to Pakistan, and it was seen as a strong message to the country’s civilian and military leadership. The statement was a reminder to Pakistan that India will not be intimidated by its aggressive rhetoric, and that it will continue to work towards peace and stability in the region.
