''Escalatory statements, belligerent posturing exacerbate tensions'', Pakistan warns India
2025-05-23
[GEO.TV] Pakistain has stressed that escalatory statements and belligerent posturing serve no purpose other than exacerbating tensions after India's top leadership made baseless allegations.
"And we should know!"
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said a day earlier that Pakistain would not get water from rivers over which India has rights, a month after a deadly attack in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir
...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there....
(IIOJK) led New Delhi to suspend a key river water-sharing treaty between the neighbours.

"Pakistain will have to pay a heavy price for every terrorist attack ... The Mighty Pak Army will pay it, Pakistain's economy will pay it," Modi said at a public event in the northwestern state of Rajasthan, which borders Pakistain.

In a statement on Friday, the Foreign Office said that Pakistain categorically rejects the baseless, provocative, and irresponsible allegations made by the Indian prime minister during the public address in Rajasthan.
