Condemning as \u201chighly irresponsible\u201d the statements by Pakistani leadership after the abrogation of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir, India on Thursday said they are intended to project an \u201calarmist\u201d situation far from the ground realities, and asked Pakistan to behave as a normal neighbour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Raveesh Kumar also dismissed the letter written by Pakistani minister Shireen Mazari to the UN on alleged human rights violation by India in J&K, asserting that it was \u201cnot worth the paper it was written on\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Asked about provocative statements made by Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan and some other ministers, he said, \u201cWe condemn the highly irresponsible statements made by the Pakistani leadership on matters internal to india. These statements include references to jihad and to incite violence in India.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kumar further asserted that \u201cthis is intended to project an alarmist situation which is far from the ground realities. Pakistan needs to understand that the world has seen through their provocative and unsubstantiated rhetoric which is based on lies and deceit\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Asking Pakistan to start behaving like a normal neighbour, Kumar said, \u201cWhat do normal neighbours do, they do not push terrorists in a neighbouring country. You do normal talk, normal trade.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are all aware Pakistan has been using cross-border terrorism as an instrument of its state policy. We have been continuing to highlight our concerns with them. Pakistan has an obligation to take action against terrorists and terror groups operating from its soil,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Pakistan Human Rights Minister Shireen Mazari on Wednesday wrote a letter to 18 UN officials, Kumar said he does not want to lend any credence to the letter by reacting to it.\u201cThey should see what is happening in their house before making statements and everybody knows what is happening, their house is on fire,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Asked about intelligence inputs of a possible infiltration by terrorists through the sea route, Kumar confirmed that there have been such inputs and said security forces are prepared to \u201cdeal with any eventuality\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On some international organisations raising concerns with India on rights issues, Kumar said India \u201ccompletely rejects\u201d such unsubstantiated statements.\u201cThese are not based on facts. Facts are being presented on a regular basis by the district administration in J&K,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
