Islamabad: Pakistan has expressed significant concern over what it describes as provocative statements from senior Indian security officials, warning that such rhetoric could lead to serious consequences for regional peace and stability.

In a statement issued by the Inter Services Public Relations, Pakistan criticized India for allegedly fabricating pretexts for aggression and accused India of perpetuating a narrative that paints Pakistan negatively while engaging in activities that destabilize South Asia.

The statement highlighted past incidents, including a recent military confrontation that nearly escalated into a full-blown conflict between the two nuclear-armed neighbors. Pakistan claims that India’s actions have been recognized globally as the source of regional instability.

Amidst these tensions, Pakistan cautioned that any future conflict could lead to catastrophic outcomes, emphasizing that it would respond decisively to any acts of aggression. The statement underscored Pakistan’s readiness to counter threats and asserted that any attempt to destabilize the region would be met with a strong response.

The statement concluded with a warning that any talk of erasing Pakistan from the map would result in mutual consequences, urging restraint to prevent further escalation.
