Pakistan Rejects Indian Defence Minister’s Remarks, Warns Against Aggression

Pakistan said any Indian military action would draw a forceful response as it condemned remarks it called provocative and destabilizing, officials said.

  • On Friday, Foreign Office spokesperson Ambassador Sajjad Haider Khan rejected Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh's "provocative remarks" threatening aggression, warning that any military action would be met with a "forceful response."
  • Speaking at a Delhi conclave Thursday, Singh asserted a decisive shift in India's response to terrorism, prompting Khan to term the statements "reckless" and reaffirm Pakistan's readiness to "safeguard its sovereignty and territorial integrity against any ill-advised aggression."
  • Addressing regional security, Khan stated India's August 5, 2019, actions regarding Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir were "illegal and void," while calling on Afghan authorities to take "concrete, verifiable and irreversible action against groups operating from Afghan soil."
  • Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar oversaw agreements to enhance cooperation with Oman in Islamabad, while Pakistan condemned Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia as a "grave threat to regional peace and security."
  • The Foreign Office is digitizing apostille services to improve efficiency for overseas Pakistanis; Khan described the initiative as a "massive leap forward," with Dar personally steering the automation process.
