False flag operation to get befitting response from Pakistan, Imran tells India

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan has warned India that it would get a befitting response from Pakistan if New Delhi conducted a false flag operation to divert attention from domestic issues.

In a series of tweets on Sunday, PM Khan also condemned what he described as rogue Indian behavior for targeting a UN vehicle carrying military observers in Azad Kashmir.

“In complete violation of int law, India’s delib firing at LoC on UNMOGIP vehicle, despite clear UN markings & flying blue UN flag, shows India’s total disregard for all int norms of acceptable state behaviour & respect for int law & UN. Pak strongly condemns this rogue behaviour,” Khan tweeted.

He continued: “I want to again warn the world community, as India’s internal problems mount, especially economic recession, growing farmers protests & mishandling of COVID 19, the Modi govt will divert from the internal mess by conducting a false flag operation against Pakistan.”

“Already, in 2020 alone, there have been 3000 Indian ceasefire violations along the LoC & Working Boundary, by unprovoked firing deliberately targeting civilians – resulting in 276 casualties, of which 92 were women & 68 children.”

Khan made it absolutely clear to the international community that if India was to be reckless enough to conduct a false flag operation against Pakistan, it would confront a strong national Pakistani resolve and be given a befitting response at all levels of the threat.
