ISLAMABAD, Dec 26: Pakistan has not moved its missiles towards border and India is lying about it to justify its own military build-up, Director General, ISPR, Maj-Gen Rashid Qureshi said on Wednesday.

In an interview to BBC television, he said it was absolutely incorrect to say that Pakistan was moving artillery and missiles towards the border.

“It is another Indian lie. Pakistan has not moved missiles towards the border. India continues to tell lies in order to justify its own build-up,” he said.

“They (India) have moved all their formations to the border. We know it. We are monitoring that and as a defensive measure we will just move minimum troops, if we have to,” he said, adding but at present Indians “are absolutely incorrect when they say Pakistan has moved missiles to the border.”

Pakistan is not engaged in any propaganda and is just telling the truth, he said in reply to a question.

“It is India which has done this after Sept 11, when they found to their frustration that the whole world has formed the coalition, including Pakistan, against terrorism,” he added.

He said India was frustrated as it was not India that was being asked to assist, so they started making up things “which have no basis.”

They hijacked their own air-craft and blamed Pakistan for it. They arranged strange happenings in India and blamed Pakistan and its intelligence agencies for that. “So it is they who are engaged in propaganda,” he maintained.—APP
