ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Sunday firmly rejected the recent spate of false terrorism-related assertions made by India in which some detached alleged incidents are being distorted and presented as a so-called `terror` plot against India.
A statement issued by the Foreign Office said that in order to build on this orchestrated `terrorism` narrative against Pakistan, a section of the Indian media had reported that India had intercepted a message from a `Pakistani` WhatsApp number as well as seized an `empty boat`inMaharashtra along with some weapons.
It said that segments of the Indian media had deceitfully sought to link these to the preposterous claims about a so-called `Mumbai-style` attack being planned.
Separately, the Indian media have also reported that the Indian intelligence and border forces were on high alert for possible `crossborder infiltration` at tempt s along Rajauri.
`All this is nothing but continuation of the sinister Indian design to yet again raise the `terrorism` bogey to malign Pal(istan. We reject these allegations and Indian machinations outrightly,` the statement said.
The FO said that possibility of a choreographed `false flag activity` to target Pakistan and negatively affect its political and economic interests cannot be ruled out, as Indian propaganda is pointing in that direction.
`India must recognise that no amount of false propaganda can deter Pakistan from exposing India`s brutalisation of the Kashmiri people,` the statement said.
`Pakistan also urges the international community to take immediate cognizance of the fact that India is yet again resorting to classic `false flag` methods to advance its sinister designs, it added.
