Ishaq Dar said that the purpose of the press conference is to inform about the current ongoing India-Pakistan situation.

The Deputy Prime Minister said that after the Pahalgam incident, India adopted an irresponsible and aggressive attitude. Pakistan condemns all forms of terrorism. India’s illegal actions and statements have complicated the situation.

The Foreign Minister said that the situation in the region has been discussed with leaders of various countries. India is involved in terrorism in Pakistan and other countries. The Pakistani nation and institutions have fought terrorism bravely. The Indian government uses such incidents for political purposes and it is India’s habit to blame every incident of terrorism.

The Indian leadership uses various tactics to divert attention from its failures. India wants to link the freedom movement in occupied Kashmir with terrorism. India has resorted to black laws to suppress the rights of the people of occupied Kashmir. The entire region is in danger due to India’s irresponsible actions. A nefarious campaign against Muslims and Kashmiris is underway in India. India is fueling terrorism and extremism in the region.
