The Foreign Office (FO) of Pakistan has strongly rejected Indian allegations that Pakistan played a role in the recent unrest in Bangladesh. In a statement issued today, the FO termed the accusations as “baseless” and a continuation of India’s long-standing pattern of blaming Pakistan for its own internal issues and regional disturbances.

The Indian government recently claimed that Pakistan was involved in fomenting unrest in Bangladesh, where political tensions have been on the rise. However, the FO clarified that Pakistan remains committed to respecting the sovereignty of other nations and has no involvement in the internal matters of Bangladesh.

The statement emphasized that such baseless allegations are part of a broader strategy by India to divert attention from its own domestic challenges and human rights violations. Pakistan urged the international community to take note of India’s attempts to malign Pakistan’s image and destabilize the region.

The FO reiterated Pakistan’s desire for peace and stability in South Asia and called on India to refrain from making unfounded accusations that could further strain bilateral relations.

This development comes amid a backdrop of heightened tensions in the region, with both Pakistan and India often finding themselves at odds over various geopolitical issues. The FO’s statement underscores Pakistan’s stance on maintaining peaceful relations with its neighbors while strongly opposing any attempts to undermine its sovereignty and image.
