Pakistan’s NSC says that India has once again ignited an inferno in the region by conducting the strikes last night.

“Apprehensive of its falsehood being exposed, and without a shred of evidence about its claims, the Indian leadership, bereft of any morality, has now gone to the extent of attacking innocent civilians in order to satiate its delusional thoughts and short-sighted political objectives,” the top security committee said.

“Attacking its innocent people is neither tolerable nor acceptable to Pakistan. India, against all sanity and rationality, has once again ignited an inferno in the region, the responsibility for ensuing consequences shall lie squarely with India,” it added.

Recalling its offer for a neutral probe and rejection of India’s allegations of terrorist camps on its territory, the NSC asserted that international media had visited those sites yesterday and more such visits were planned for today.

The NSC stated that Pakistan’s armed forces responded to defend the country’s territorial integrity, including AJK.
