Qureshi briefs diplomatic corps on intrusion by Indian Aircrafts
ISLAMABAD, Feb 26 (APP):Minister for Foreign Affairs Makhdoom Shah Mahmood Qureshi Tuesday briefed the members of the diplomatic corps about the Indian violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The foreign minister informed the diplomatic corps that at approximately 0254 hours, 6-8 Indian aircraft were effectively intercepted by Pakistani Air Force Jets and forced to scuttle back while randomly releasing their ordnance which landed in uninhabited remote area.
The foreign minister strongly rebutted the Indian purported claims of having targeted a large terrorist camp and resultant causalities, saying, it was completely absurd and is based on a false narrative designed to placate domestic audience. It was emphasized that Pakistan reserves its right to respond against Indian aggression.
He reiterated Pakistan’s principled stance on continuing support to the peaceful political struggle of the Kashmiri people for the realization of the right to self-determination as enshrined in the UN Security Council Resolutions.
