Pak PM urges UN to counsel India to 'exercise restraint'

Pakistan Army said that India has not provided a shred of evidence for its baseless allegations against Pakistan concerning the Pahalgam attack

Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif urged UN chief Antonio Guterres on Tuesday to “counsel India” to exercise restraint, his office said, after a deadly attack in Kashmir has seen New Delhi vow action against those responsible and accuse Pakistan of involvement.

“While underscoring that Pakistan shall defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity with full force in case of any misadventure by India, the Prime Minister encouraged the UN Secretary-General to counsel India to act responsibly and exercise restraint,” Sharif's office said in a statement, repeating Pakistan's rejection of India’s allegations.

The Pakistan Army said on Tuesday that India has not provided a shred of evidence for its baseless allegations against Pakistan concerning the Pahalgam attack, and added that India was involved in undertaking cross-border terrorism inside Pakistan.

Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General, Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, on Tuesday told a news briefing that seven days have passed since the Pahalgam incident but, so far, India has not provided a shred of evidence for its baseless allegations against Pakistan.
