Pakistan has zero credibility when it comes to cross-border terrorism: MEA

New Delhi, March 12: India on Thursday slammed Pakistan yet again, terming the country as the “state sponsor of terrorism for decades” which also has no credibility when it comes to cross-border terrorism. Reacting strongly to Islamabad’s allegations of India’s involvement in the ongoing conflict between Pakistan and Afghanistan along the Durand Line, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) that nobody is fooled by Pakistan’s “assumed victimhood” now.
Addressing a weekly media briefing on Thursday, MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said that it has become second nature for Pakistan to blame India for its misdeeds.
“We reject such baseless allegations. It has become second nature for Pakistan to blame India for its misdeeds. As a state sponsor of terrorism for decades, Pakistan has zero credibility when it comes to cross-border terrorism. No amount of storytelling is going to alter this reality, nor is anyone fooled by Pakistan’s assumed victimhood,” said Jaiswal.
The current round of hostilities between Afghanistan and Pakistan started when Afghan forces launched retaliatory operations against Pakistani military installations on February 27, following Islamabad’s actions targetting areas inside Afghan territory on February 21. After Afghanistan’s attacks, Pakistan launched ‘Operation Ghazab lil-Haq’ (Righteous Fury) in response to what it described as “unprovoked firing” by the Afghan forces across multiple border sectors.
