Vacate Indian Territory,’ India Replies to Pak’s J&K Remarks on PM Modi’s Podcast
In a sharp retort, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has reacted to Pakistan’s recent remarks on Jammu and Kashmir, a day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi criticized the country for its hostility and betrayal. The MEA’s response came in response to Pakistan’s comments on PM Modi’s podcast, where he spoke about the country’s hostility towards India and its repeated attempts to disturb peace in the region.
Pakistan’s Minister for Information and Broadcasting, Fawad Chaudhry, had earlier said that Pakistan would not abandon its efforts to raise the Kashmir issue at the international level. However, India’s MEA was quick to respond, saying that instead of spreading lies, Pakistan should focus on vacating Indian territory that is under its illegal occupation.
“Pakistan should vacate Indian territory under its illegal occupation, instead of spreading lies,” the MEA said in a statement. The ministry also added that the world is aware of the “real issue”, which is Pakistan’s active promotion and sponsorship of cross-border terrorism.
Pakistan’s remarks on Jammu and Kashmir come at a time when tensions between the two countries are already running high. The situation in the region has been volatile since the abrogation of Article 370 by the Indian government in August 2019, which granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir.
Pakistan has been vehemently opposing India’s move, and has even gone to the extent of downgrading diplomatic ties with India. However, India has maintained that the move was necessary to integrate the region with the rest of the country and to bring about economic development.
In his podcast, PM Modi had accused Pakistan of being a “nation of liars” and had said that the country’s leaders had no qualms about spreading falsehoods to mislead the international community. The Prime Minister had also accused Pakistan of promoting terrorism and of being a “hub” of terrorist organizations.
The MEA’s response to Pakistan’s remarks comes as a clear indication that India is not willing to tolerate Pakistan’s continued interference in the region. The ministry has made it clear that Pakistan should focus on resolving its internal issues rather than trying to create trouble for India.
It is worth noting that the MEA’s response is not the first time that India has reacted sharply to Pakistan’s comments on Jammu and Kashmir. In the past, India has accused Pakistan of using terrorist organizations to wage a proxy war against it in Kashmir.
The situation in Jammu and Kashmir has been volatile since the abrogation of Article 370, with reports of stone pelting and clashes between protesters and security forces. However, the Indian government has maintained that the move has brought about peace and stability to the region.
In conclusion, India’s sharp rebuttal to Pakistan’s remarks on Jammu and Kashmir is a clear indication that the country is not willing to tolerate Pakistan’s continued interference in the region. The MEA’s response has made it clear that Pakistan should focus on resolving its internal issues rather than trying to create trouble for India.
