MULTAN: Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi today (Sunday) has maintained that arch-rival India was using its territory to sabotage China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) for subversive activities against Pakistan.
“India has allotted Rs80 billion for terrorists and established training camps on its soil to disrupt CPEC projects,” he said, while addressing a press conference to shed light on the ‘irrefutable evidence’ that the Pakistan Army and the Foreign Office found regarding India’s state-sponsored terrorism inside Pakistan.
The foreign minister said, “India also wants to deteriorate the situation in Gilgit Baltistan (GB). This country’s interference has become an issue for Pakistan’s security and prosperity.”
He further claimed that India was also using Afghan soil against Pakistan, therefore Pakistan and Afghanistan should devise a comprehensive strategy to fight against the terrorism.
FM Qureshi stressed that Pakistan has to understand India’s intentions and make its plans unsuccessful, adding that New Delhi is fully aware of Pakistan’s capabilities.
“Even though the world knows our capabilities, going on nuclear war is equivalent to committing suicide,” he said, adding, “India has become a threat to the region’s peace so the world should take notice of the Indian nefarious designs to destabilize Pakistan through terrorism.”
A day earlier, Pakistan presented a detailed dossier containing evidence of India’s involvement in terrorism being carried out in Pakistan. “Today, we have irrefutable facts that we will present before the nation and the international community through this dossier,” the FM had said.
During the detailed briefing, Qureshi and DG ISPR Iftikhar highlighted how India is promoting terrorism with not only the use of its own soil but also neighbouring countries and has developed a plan to destabilise Pakistan.
