Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “reckless” and “hate-driven” comments against Pakistan have drawn harsh criticism from Islamabad, which has called them the result of “the theatrical flourish of a campaign rally rather than the sobriety expected of the leader of a nuclear-armed state.”
In a social media post on Tuesday, the Foreign Office in Islamabad stated, “The hate-driven invocation of violence in his remarks is deeply disturbing, not only for its content but for the dangerous precedent it sets in a region already burdened by volatility.”
“We lament the ongoing decline in decorum and maturity in Indian statecraft.”
