FO terms Indian COAS’ comments ‘jingoistic’
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has taken serious exception to the reported statement of the Indian army chief about his threat perception from Pakistan, war under a nuclear scenario and “uncalled for and gratuitous comments” on the internal affairs of Pakistan. In a statement, the Foreign Office spokesman on Saturday said the repetitive mentioning by the Indian military high command about war under the nuclear scenario is not only irresponsible but also jingoistic and unwise. “Such statements and grandstanding by India are evidently unhelpful to the cause of promoting peace, security and stability in South Asia,” he added. The spokesman said Pakistan remains committed to a purposeful and result-oriented dialogue with India on all outstanding issues, including the core issue of Jammu and Kashmir. app
