Pakistan condemns India's remarks on incident of Afghan envoy's daughter

ISLAMABAD (92 News) - Pakistan has condemned the gratuitous and unwarranted remarks by spokesperson of Indian Ministry of External Affairs about the recent incident involving the daughter of Afghan envoy.

Foreign Office spokesperson Zahid Hafeez Chadhri said this while responding to media queries regarding the remarks made by the spokesperson of Indian MEA about the incident. The FO urged India to refrain from its smear propaganda campaign

He said India’s malicious smear campaign against Pakistan is well-known and independent organizations including EU DisinfoLab had established New Delhi’s credentials as purveyor of anti-Pakistan propaganda globally.

The FO spokesperson said Indian propaganda machinery against Pakistan is active and fake pictures of the ambassador’s daughter are being circulated by Indian Twitter handles and websites. He said it is unfortunate that India used such an incident to peddle false narrative against Pakistan.

Zahid Hafeez Chadhri said the only domains where India had set standards are state-sponsored terrorism, illegal occupation, disregard of United Nations resolutions, mass murders and repression against women in the territory under its illegal occupation, political violence against minorities, and running organized fake propaganda networks around the world and was, therefore, in no position to pontificate on ‘standards’ for other countries.

While calling upon India to refrain from its smear propaganda campaign against Pakistan, the spokesperson said that Pakistan remain determined to pushback against unabated Indian machinations and also to draw attention towards India’s role of a spoiler in the ongoing Afghan peace process.
