Islamabad: Pakistan has said our defence system is in the strongest hands.
There is no substance in the reports regarding US restrictions. Aghan soil has become safe haven for terrorists. International community should pressurize Afghan government to eliminate terrorists safe havens.
We strongly condemn violation of Ghaza ceasefire agreement and demand immediate cease fire on western bank. ,
This was said by Foreign Office (FO) spokesperson Shafqat Ali Khan at his weekly media briefing in Islamabad on Thursday.
He said it was India that took Jammu and Kashmir issue to the United Nations in 1948 so no right to blame the Security Council and its erstwhile members for the resolutions that were subsequently adopted.
The Spokesperson said repetition of baseless claims cannot deny the fact that Jammu and Kashmir is an internationally recognized disputed territory whose final status is to be determined by its people through an UN-supervised plebiscite, as stipulated in the relevant UN Security Council resolutions.
He said a peaceful settlement of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute, in accordance with the relevant UN Security Council Resolutions and aspirations of the Kashmiri people, is essential for a lasting peace in South Asia.
The Spokesperson said Pakistan has always advocated constructive engagement and result-oriented dialogue to resolve all outstanding issues, including the core dispute of Jammu and Kashmir. However, peace and stability in South Asia has remained hostage to India's rigid approach and hegemonic ambitions.
Shafqat Ali Khan said Indian involvement in fanning terrorism in Pakistan and destabilizing Balochistan is also clear. He pointed out that India has not condemned the recent attack on Jaffar Express in Balochistan.
The Spokesperson said not only in Pakistan, India has been sponsoring such unlawful activities in the entire region. He said instead of blaming others, India should reflect on its own record of orchestrating targeted assassinations, subversion and terrorism in foreign territories.
The Spokesperson added that anti-Pakistan narrative, emanating from India, vitiates the bilateral environment and impedes the prospects for peace and cooperation and it must stop.
He said Torkham border will remain open till April 15 and permanent solution to issue will be found out.
Stopping construction of border post was basic demand of Pakistan which was accepted.
He said officers of FO are not involved in human trafficking. There is no reality in these speculations. Fact finding committee is being constituted to investigate into social media reports.
He said international community should declare Israel perpetrator of war crimes for genocide in Ghaza. Israel attacks on Ghaza stand opposed to ceasefire.
Pakistan will continue its support for two Palestine two states solution. We demand for immediate ceasefire on western bank.
He said it is not in the knowledge Pakistan delgation went to Israel on which passport. Investigations are underway.
