ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Sunday strongly rejected the anti-Pakistan tirade by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leadership during its electoral campaigns in two Indian states.
The Foreign Office in a press release said, “We categorically reject these allegations and threats as well as distortion of history and facts.”
It was a question worth pondering by all concerned whether the current BJP rulers in India had anything else to sell to the electorate other than their animus towards Pakistan, it added.
“As we have repeatedly emphasized, the instrumental use of Pakistan for domestic political gains and electoral dividends must come to an end in India,” it added.
The anti-Pakistan tirade by the BJP leadership continued as the electoral process in the Indian states of Haryana and Maharashtra advanced. In successive election rallies in recent days, Pakistan had been invoked repeatedly.
Statements had been made regurgitating baseless allegations of Pakistan’s support to terrorism and drug smuggling, threatening to choke water supply to Pakistan, and taking credit for Pakistan’s decision of opening of Kartarpur Corridor.
