Fri 18 December 2020:
Foreign Minister of Pakistan, Shah Mahmood Qureshi on Friday said India was planning a surgical strike against Pakistan, days after a New Delhi-backed campaign against Islamabad was exposed.
Addressing a press conference UAE’s capital, FM Qureshi said he had received information “through our intelligence agencies” that India was preparing to launch a surgical strike against Pakistan and fanning a new wave of terrorism.
Terming the situation as sensitive, he said Pakistan was fully aware of India’s conspiracies and vowed that Islamabad would respond befittingly should New Delhi initiate military action.
FM Qureshi said that India was “trying to seek tacit approval” from “important players who they consider to be their partners”.
The foreign minister said that this misadventure, in Pakistan’s opinion, was being done to divert attention from serious issues. “To begin with: The situation in Indian Occupied Kashmir.”
Speaking about the EU DisinfoLab’s report, he said that recent research also exposed India’s campaign against Pakistan.
Pakistan is fully prepared to respond and defeat their designs. We will do it effectively, as we did respond immediately and effectively in February 2019,” he said.
FM Qureshi warned India that Pakistan — if the nuclear neighbour does not move away from this path and their desire to do this misadventure — would respond effectively this time as well.
Urging the global community to play its part and not test Pakistan’s resolve, he said that India’s misadventure will undermine the region’s peace and stability and will have catastrophic consequences.
Armed Forces on high alert
Amid reports of India’s bid to to destroy peace in the region by starting a false flag operation against Pakistan, credible sources said that India has been preparing for an attack on the Line of Control (LoC) and on the India-Pakistan Working Boundary.
Owing to the possibility of an attack, Pakistan’s Armed Forces have been placed on high alert.
The sources said that India can resort to a border action or a surgical strike as part of its false flag operation.
The move is being planned to divert the attention of its public from several of its serious internal problems, including the mistreatment of minorities, farmers’ protests, its growing atrocities in occupied Kashmir and the resultant criticism from international media and institutions.
