‘lies And Deceit’: India Pans Pakistan For Shrill Kashmir Campaign

On Pakistan’s letter to the United Nations alleging human rights violations in Jammu and Kashmir, the external affairs ministry said “the letter is not even worth the paper on which it was written. Don’t want to give credence to it by reacting”.

India on Thursday hammered Pakistan for a string of shrill statements by its political leaders over the last few days, asserting that these voices were designed to present an alarmist situation to the world that is far from the ground realities. “We strongly condemn highly irresponsible statements by Pakistani leadership on matters internal to India,” foreign ministry spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said in his weekly briefing.

The provocative statements from Pakistan “include calls for jihad and inciting violence in India,” he said, a reference to a speech by the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Mahmood Khan where he offered to become the commander of his people if ‘jihad’ was ever formally declared for Kashmir.
