Pakistan's PM: Indian strikes threaten regional peace, stability

Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar has accused India of endangering regional peace and stability through what he called "aggressive and unlawful" military actions, following reported Indian strikes on Pakistani territory and Azad Jammu and Kashmir overnight from May 6 to 7.

Speaking at a briefing for foreign ambassadors in Islamabad, Dar strongly condemned the attacks, asserting that they constituted a violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty and a threat to regional security, Caliber.Az reports per Russian media. 

According to a statement from Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the minister described the strikes as a flagrant breach of the United Nations Charter, international law, and the norms governing relations between sovereign states. 

Dar dismissed India's claims that the strikes targeted terrorist infrastructure, asserting that no credible evidence had been provided to link Pakistan to a recent incident in the Indian town of Pahalgam.

He accused New Delhi of using terrorism as a pretext to promote a “fabricated narrative of victimhood.” 

"The Indian leadership has once again exploited the specter of terrorism for political gain," Dar said, criticizing Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government for what he described as a refusal to heed international calls for de-escalation and restraint. 

The Pakistani official called on the international community to hold India accountable for what he termed “irresponsible and reckless conduct,” urging diplomatic pressure to prevent further escalation.
