Pakistan’s Lies Exposed: India Calls Out Islamabad’s History of Fabrications
India Rejects Pakistan’s Claims of Downed Jets
India’s foreign secretary, Vikram Misri, has vehemently denied Pakistan’s recent assertion that Indian jets were shot down during recent aerial clashes between the two nations. Speaking at a joint press conference, Misri called out Pakistan’s long history of making false statements, highlighting instances dating back to the country’s independence.
‘A History of Lies’
Misri’s response was sharp and direct. He stated, “There is nothing surprising in it. After all, this is a country that started lying as soon as it was born.” He pointed to Pakistan’s claim of having no involvement in the 1947 conflict over Jammu and Kashmir, a claim made to the United Nations, as evidence of this pattern. He also refuted Pakistan’s allegation that India targeted the Neelum-Jhelum dam in Pakistani-occupied Kashmir (PoJK), calling it “absolutely fabricated and a blatant lie.”
Terrorism at the Heart of the Dispute
The foreign secretary further accused Pakistan of harboring terrorists, stating that the country’s reputation as a “hub for terrorism” is well-established. He pointed to Osama Bin Laden’s discovery in Pakistan and the country’s support for various terror groups as proof. He also noted recent admissions by Pakistani officials acknowledging their country’s links to such groups.
Background: India’s Strikes on Terror Infrastructure
Misri’s remarks come in response to India’s recent airstrikes on terror camps in Pakistan and PoJK following the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, which killed 26 people. India maintains that the airstrikes were targeted solely at terrorist infrastructure and that Pakistan’s claims of downed jets are baseless.
Tensions Remain High
The situation between India and Pakistan remains tense following the recent air strikes. Both sides have accused each other of aggression and continue to engage in a war of words. The international community is urging restraint and a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
