India using Afghan soil for terrorist activities in Pakistan: FO
ISLAMABAD: To eliminate the menace of terrorism, all the state institutions are on the same page and there was no discrimination in action against the terrorists, said Foreign Office spokesman Nafees Zakaria.
The spokesman, in his weekly media briefing here Friday, rejected the view about isolation of the country at diplomatic level, saying that geographically Pakistan is an economic hub for other countries.
Zakaria said, “Pakistan is not being isolated internationally. All this is propaganda.” Pakistan enjoys brotherly relations with all countries, he added.
Commenting on the story by Dawn journalist Cyril Almeida, the spokesman said, “It was based on assumption, a fact the reporter himself accepts in the news story.”
He said India was using different tactics to divert attention from the issue of Kashmir. “Media campaign against Pakistan and escalating border tension are Indian tactics,” he said.
“India constantly wants to keep the world under an impression based on lies that do not exist in reality,” Spokesman Nafees Zakaria said in response to Indian defence minister Manohar Parrikar’s statement quoting that there was no need to share proofs of surgical strike.
He said India’s false claim of surgical strike and media campaign against Pakistan had now been clearly exposed.
“India is using Afghan soil for terrorist activities in Pakistan,” he said and added that Indian leaders have on record accepted that India was spreading terrorism in Pakistan.
