The Foreign Office has strongly condemned Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh's comments of questioning established historical facts, levelling unfounded allegations in the context of terrorism, and hurling threats against Pakistan.

Foreign Office Spokesperson Asim Iftikhar said this in response to media queries on the remarks made by the Indian Defence Minister at an event in New Delhi yesterday.

The Spokesperson said it is the BJP's special forte to misrepresent history, resort to revisionism and delusional thinking, and indulge in false bravado. Such discourse is particularly evident whenever elections in key states in India are approaching.

He said the timing of the Indian Defence Minister's provocative rhetoric is, therefore, not surprising, as the BJP-RSS combine is desperate to win elections in Uttar Pradesh and other states, typically inciting hyper nationalism and seeking to advance the extremist 'Hindutva' agenda.

Asim Iftikhar said the Indian Defence Minister's chest-thumping and war-mongering is nothing but further evidence of India's irresponsible behavior and its relentless belligerence towards Pakistan.

As regards the issue of terrorism, the international community is well aware of how the Hindutva-inspired regime in India is carrying out State-terrorism against the Kashmiris in Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK). In November last year, Pakistan also presented a comprehensive dossier with irrefutable evidence of the Indian government's planning, aiding, abetting, financing and executing terrorist activities in Pakistan.

The Spokesperson said the world is aware that Pakistan is fully capable of thwarting India's aggressive designs. We have demonstrated our resolve and capability in this regard, including in the recent past.

He said the BJP leaders will be well-advised to desist from any ill-conceived misadventure and also stop dragging Pakistan in India's domestic politics for electoral gains.
