NEW DELHI: Categorically denying any involvement in the Pahalgam attack , Pakistan pointed fingers at what it called "state oppression, abrogation of statehood, and political and demographic gerrymandering" in J&K as well as alleged "systematic persecution of Muslims in India" through measures like the "forced passage of waqf bill".
Persisting with its script of disowning terror attacks by jihadi groups operating from its soil and calling it "homegrown" terrorism, Pakistan claimed abrogation of Art 370 and other steps had triggered a "perpetual cycle of violence".
Pakistan: Prepared to defend our sovereignty
A Pakistani statement claimed India’s “systemic persecution of minorities, particularly Muslims”, had become increasingly pervasive, citing what it called “forced passage of waqf Bill” as the latest effort to marginalise Muslims across the country.
The statement followed a meeting of National Security Committee, chaired by PM Shehbaz Sharif. It also said “India must take full responsibility for its failure to provide security to the people”.
The statement said, “In the absence of any credible investigation and verifiable evidence, attempts to link the Pahalgam attack with Pakistan are frivolous, devoid of rationality and defeat logic”. The NSC said Pakistan and its armed forces were “fully capable and prepared to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity against any misadventure”.
