Pakistan issued a sharp rebuttal on Wednesday following a detailed discussion about Operation Sindoor in the Lok Sabha. Islamabad insisted that the assertions made during the debate were “baseless and provocative” — accusing the other country of “relying on disinformation, jingoism, and chest-thumping”. The remarks came hours after Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other members of his Cabinet shared key details about the May clash.
“The world knows that India attacked Pakistan without any verifiable evidence or a credible investigation into the Pahalgam Attack…India failed to achieve any of its strategic objectives. On the other hand, Pakistan’s resounding success in neutralising the Indian fighter jets and military targets is an indisputable fact,” the Pakistani Foreign Ministry claimed.
Pakistan counters PM Modi, Rajnath Singh
The lengthy statement also issued a tangential ‘warning’ for Indian officials — insisting that they would be “well-advised to acknowledge the losses incurred by their armed forces and accept the active role played by the third parties in realising the ceasefire”. US President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed credit for negotiating a truce between the two countries — prompting multiple clarifications from India.
“No leader in the world asked India to stop Operation Sindoor. US Vice President JD Vance called me several times…to inform me that Pakistan was planning a big attack on India. I responded that if it so happened, India would launch a bigger attack,” Prime Minister Narendra Modi had clarified before the Lok Sabha earlier this week.
The Pakistani statement also claimed that the details shared by Home Minister Rajnath Singh were “replete with fabrications”. Singh had previously told the Lok Sabha that Pakistan had pleaded for a halt to hostilities after suffering severe blows from Indian forces. Islabamad also expressed “unequivocal rejection” of Indian statements regarding the establishment of a ‘new normal’ in bilateral ties and vowed to “forcefully counter any future aggression” — citing its actions in May 2025.
‘Pakistan committed to peace, regional stability’
The statement also touched upon allegations of ‘nuclear blackmail’ by Pakistan — deeming it a misleading bid by India to “veil its own escalatory impulses while shifting blame”.
“It is well known that Pakistan deterred India through its conventional capabilities, affirming that discipline and restraint remain its guiding principles,” it added.
“As a responsible country, Pakistan remains committed to peace, regional stability, and a meaningful dialogue for resolution of all outstanding issues, including the core dispute of Jammu and Kashmir,” the statement conclued.
