Pakistan rejected what it called provocative and inflammatory assertions by the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The following is the text of the Pakistan government statement made available by its HC in Colombo: "Pakistan categorically rejects the provocative and inflammatory assertions made by the Indian Prime Minister in his address yesterday. At a time when international efforts are being made for regional peace andstability, this statement represents a dangerous escalation rooted in misinformation, political opportunism, and a blatant disregard for international law. This statement also reflects a propensity to fabricate misleading narratives to justify aggression.

Pakistan remains committed to the recent ceasefire understanding and taking necessary steps towards de-escalation and regional stability.

This ceasefire was achieved as a result of the facilitation of several friendly countries which contacted us with a message of de-escalation.

The portrayal of Pakistan as seeking a ceasefire in "despair and frustration" is yet another blatant lie.
