Indian allegations, provocative statements not conducive to peace: FO

Pakistan says there must not be any miscalculation about it's resolve to thwart any aggression


Web Desk December 13, 2014

ISLAMABAD: After Indian defence minister warned Pakistan of a “strong response” for alleged cross-border terrorism, the Foreign Office on Saturday responded by saying that unfounded allegations and provocative statements were not conducive to peace in the region.

Following a week where 11 security personnel were killed in attacks in Indian Kashmir, for which Indian Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar had blamed Pakistan, Times of India reported.

"I feel that there has to be some strong response which will once and for all reduce these blatant attempts. It's an open secret that they (militants) came from Pakistan."

In response, the FO spokesperson in statement on Saturday said that these “unfounded allegations and provocative statements are not conducive to peace in the region.”

“There must not be any miscalculation about Pakistan's resolve to defend itself and thwart any aggression.”

The message from Pak foreign office to India is quite clear to stop issuing complaints or threats as status quo at LoC would be maintained regardless by it. Pakistan who was subjected to strong Indian response recently had little or no effect which was evident from the major attack at Uri sector army base in which six Pakistani terrorists and eleven Indian security personnel were killed. Pakistan's military top brass after its chief's visit to USA, China's friendship and nuclear deterrence are miscalculating India's resolve to take punitive action without being influenced by any of these factors. India is now left with no other alternative but resort to limited or all out war options which is quite evident from the Indian Defence Minister's statement which should not be ignored.
