PM warns of befitting response to any false-flag operation by India

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan has strongly condemned the firing at a United Nations (UN) vehicle by Indian forces at Line of Control (LoC) besides also issuing a stern warning of a befitting response to the neighbouring country in case of any false flag operation.

In a series of tweets today (Sunday), the Prime Minister said, “In the complete violation of international laws, India’s deliberate firing at LoC on UNMOGIP vehicle, despite clear UN markings and flying blue UN flag, shows India’s total disregard for all international norms of acceptable state behaviour and respect for international law and UN.”

“As India’s internal problems mount, especially economic recession, growing farmers protests & mishandling of COVID 19, the Modi government will divert from the internal mess by conducting a false flag operation against Pakistan,” PM Imran added.

I want to again warn the world community, as India’s internal problems mount, especially economic recession, growing farmers protests & mishandling of COVID 19, the Modi govt will divert from the internal mess by conducting a false flag operation against Pakistan.

The Prime Minister also pointed out that in 2020 alone, there have been 3000 Indian ceasefire violations along the LoC and Working Boundary, by unprovoked firing deliberately targeting civilians – resulting in 276 casualties, of which 92 were women & 68 children.

I am making absolutely clear to the int community that if India was to be reckless enough to conduct a false flag operation against Pakistan, it would confront a strong national Pakistani resolve & be given a befitting response at all levels of the threat. Make no mistake.
