Recently, some images have been going viral on social media that show the Pakistani flag painted in several locations in New Delhi, India, according to reports on Tuesday.
According to these viral images, these locations seem to be a gate for the Delhi Metro and a board for the Jawaharlal Nehru University. However, an official statement has not been issued on the matter as of now.
Khawaja Asif strongly responds to Indian defence minister
Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has strongly rejected recent remarks by India’s defence minister over Jammu and Kashmir, accusing New Delhi of using political rhetoric to distort what Islamabad describes as internationally recognised legal realities.
On social media platform X, formerly Twitter, Asif said, “India’s continued attempts to rewrite internationally recognised legal realities through coercive rhetoric cannot alter the facts. Pakistan categorically rejects the irresponsible remarks made by the Indian Defence Minister.”
“Such statements reflect a continued attempt to distort internationally recognised legal realities through political rhetoric and coercive posturing. They neither alter the status of the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir nor contribute to regional peace, stability or meaningful dialogue,” he further added.
“Jammu and Kashmir remains an internationally recognised disputed territory, the final disposition of which is to be determined in accordance with the relevant UN Security Council resolutions and the freely expressed will of the Kashmiri people,” he stated.
Adding more, Asif said, “India’s repeated attempts to malign Pakistan lack credibility in light of its own well-documented record of state-sponsored terrorism and criminal activities. In fact, India remains the biggest sponsor of terrorism and perpetrator of instability in South Asia, holding the region hostage to its aggressively revisionist designs.”
“Defence minister’s rhetoric is an attempt to deflect attention from internal turmoil and increasing unrest and discontent against Modi’s autocratic and divisive style of governance,” he concluded.
