Pakistan has condemned what it calls a dangerous hate speech by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The remarks, made in Gujarat, have been labeled by Pakistan as a “hate-driven invocation of violence.” Officials in Islamabad see Modi’s words as a serious threat to regional peace.
The Foreign Office described Modi’s comments as a shocking lack of responsibility for the leader of a nuclear-armed country. It said such hate speech shows a worrying decline in the political behavior of Indian leadership. According to the statement, these comments go far beyond normal political rhetoric.
Foreign Office spokesperson Shafqat Ali Khan strongly criticized Modi’s tone. He said the speech was filled with the passion of an election rally, not the dignity of a prime minister. “We regret the continued erosion of political maturity and decency in Indian statecraft,” he said.
Khan stressed that such inflammatory hate speech violates the core values of the United Nations Charter. That charter calls for peaceful solutions to conflicts. It forbids the use of threats or violence against other nations. He warned that Modi’s aggressive words undermine these basic international rules.
Pakistan sees Modi’s words as a distraction from India’s human rights abuses. The Foreign Office believes this verbal attack is meant to divert global attention from serious issues in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir. This includes demographic changes and violence against civilians.
Shafqat Ali Khan reminded the world of Pakistan’s role in peacekeeping. He noted that Pakistan has long contributed to UN missions and international counter-terrorism efforts. He said these efforts speak louder than India’s hostile language.
The spokesperson also raised concerns about growing intolerance in India. He pointed to rising majoritarianism and religious hatred under the Hindutva ideology. He said minorities in India face increasing marginalization, which is a serious issue for the world to recognize.
Reaffirming Pakistan’s commitment to peace, Khan said Islamabad supports mutual respect and sovereign equality. But he also gave a warning. Any threat to Pakistan’s security or territory will be met with a strong and proper response. He referred to Article 51 of the UN Charter, which allows nations to defend themselves if attacked.
Finally, the Foreign Office urged the international community to act. It called on world powers to notice the increasing provocative speech coming from Indian leaders. Pakistan warned that such reckless remarks threaten the stability of South Asia and must be addressed seriously.
