Pakistan has strongly criticized recent provocative remarks made by the Indian Defense Minister during a televised interview.
During the interview on Friday, Indian Defense Minister Rajnath Singh stated that India would pursue individuals who attempted to carry out terrorist activities in Pakistan, even crossing the border to eliminate them.
Singh’s comments were in reaction to revelations by a British media outlet about India’s covert operations within Pakistan, resulting in the deaths of 20 individuals since 2020.
Responding to the interview, Pakistan’s Foreign Office referenced evidence presented on January 25, 2024, exposing India’s alleged involvement in extrajudicial and cross-border assassinations on Pakistani soil.
