Pakistan on Sunday issued a strong and categorical condemnation of Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh’s remarks regarding Sindh, calling them delusional, irresponsible, and openly expansionist. The Foreign Office said the statements reflected a Hindutva-driven mindset that attempts to rewrite established regional realities and threatens peace in South Asia.
In its official statement, the Foreign Office warned that such rhetoric violates international law, recognised borders, and the sovereignty of states. It said the comments reveal an alarming trend in India’s political narrative—one that promotes aggression instead of stability.
FO urges India to avoid provocation and address internal issues
Pakistan urged Rajnath Singh and other Indian leaders to stop issuing provocative statements that escalate tensions in the region. The statement emphasized that the Indian government would be better served by addressing the “real threats” faced by its own citizens, particularly minorities who continue to suffer persecution and targeted violence.
The FO added that India must hold accountable those who incite or carry out violence and confront discrimination rooted in faith-based prejudice and historical distortions.
The spokesperson further stated that India should focus on long-standing grievances in its northeastern states, where many communities continue to face systematic marginalisation, identity-based persecution, and cycles of state-enabled violence.
Pakistan reiterates call for Kashmir resolution
Reaffirming its long-standing stance, Pakistan called on India to take credible and meaningful steps toward resolving the Jammu and Kashmir dispute in line with UN Security Council resolutions and the aspirations of the Kashmiri people living under occupation.
The FO stressed that Pakistan remains committed to peaceful engagement and the resolution of disputes on the basis of justice, equity, and established international norms. At the same time, Pakistan reaffirmed that it will firmly safeguard its national security, independence, and sovereignty against all threats.
