Pakistan Condemns Indian PM’s Remarks as ‘Reckless Provocation’

Islamabad – Pakistan has strongly condemned recent remarks made by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a speech in Gujarat, describing them as theatrical and dangerously provocative. In an official statement, Pakistani government has expressed a grave concern over what it characterized as “hate-driven invocation of violence,” warning that such rhetoric could set a perilous precedent in an already volatile region.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the Indian Prime Minister’s comments lacked the sobriety expected from the leader of a nuclear-armed country and represented a worrying erosion of diplomatic maturity and decorum. Pakistan accused the Indian Prime Minister of violating core principles of the United Nations Charter, particularly those related to peaceful dispute resolution and the prohibition of force against the sovereignty of other nations.

“These remarks are a reckless provocation, aimed at deflecting attention from India’s ongoing human rights abuses and demographic engineering in Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir,” the Ministry said.

The statement also criticized on the deepening influence of Hindutva ideology in Indian governance, accusing New Delhi of marginalizing religious minorities and eroding democratic values.

Pakistan reiterated its commitment to peace based on mutual respect and sovereign equality but emphasized that any threat to its security or territorial integrity would be met with “firm and proportionate measures,” in line with Article 51 of the UN Charter, which affirms the right to self-defense.

Concluding its statement, Pakistan called on the international community to take serious note of India’s escalating rhetoric, warning that such conduct poses a direct threat to regional stability and undermines the prospects for lasting peace in South Asia.
