ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan has termed the Indian allegations of Pakistani infiltration across the Line of Control (LoC) as “baseless”, saying they were a “continuation of a dangerous agenda”.
In a series of tweets PM Khan said “I have been warning the world about India’s continuing efforts to find a pretext for a false flag operation targeting Pakistan.”
“Latest baseless allegations by India of “infiltration” across [the Line of Control] LoC are a continuation of this dangerous agenda”, PM added.
He further said “The indigenous Kashmiri resistance against Indian occupation is a direct consequence of India’s oppression and brutalisation of the people”.
PM cautioned that the “fascist policies” of Indian premier Narendra Modi’s government were “fraught with serious risks”. The prime minister urged the world community to take action before India’s “reckless moves jeopardise the peace and security” of the region.
Indian Occupation is a direct consequence of India's oppression & brutalisation of Kashmiris.The fascist policies of the RSS-BJP combine are fraught with serious risks. The international community must act before India's reckless moves jeopardise peace & security in South Asia.

The PM’s remarks came after a flurry of allegations from Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Army Chief Gen MM Naravane and other officials about the so-called “terrorist launch-pads” on the Pakistani side of the LoC and infiltration bids.
Earlier, Foreign Office had categorically rejected baseless Indian allegations of ‘infiltration attempts’ and unfounded claims of targeting of ‘launching pads’ across the Line of Control (LoC).
Foreign Office Spokesperson, Aisha Farooqui in a statement had rejected the provocative statements of the Indian Defence Minister, including his recent preposterous claim that “we are dominating the enemy….” “There is nothing new about Mr. Rajnath Singh’s delusions; nor about his belligerent anti-Pakistan rhetoric.”
She said “Repeated Indian allegations have one primary purpose: To divert world attention from India’s state-terrorism and grave human rights violations in Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IoJ&K).”
India also seeks to use these allegations as a pretext for “false flag” operation. Pakistan has been continuously sensitizing the international community about such an eventuality and urging India to desist from any ill-considered action, it added.
India’s belligerence continues to imperil peace in the region. In 2020 alone, India has committed 882 ceasefire violations and deliberately targeted innocent civilians living close to the LoC in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), said that official statement.
