Pakistan on Thursday termed as “absurd” and “irresponsible” Home Minister Rajnath Singh’s remarks that the country would be splintered into 10 if it failed to quell terrorism, saying the comments were in “complete violation” of all diplomatic norms.
Foreign Office Spokesperson Nafees Zakaria, during his weekly briefing, said the international community should take notice of the remarks.
“Pakistan strongly condemned the absurd remarks of the Indian Home Minister” which were also “in complete violation of all diplomatic norms, UN Charter and other international instruments guaranteeing sovereignty and territorial integrity of states,” Zakaria said.
He claimed the remarks “confirm” Indian designs against Pakistan.
