New Delhi, Jan 6: India on Monday strongly condemned Pakistan’s recent airstrikes in Afghanistan, labeling the actions as a continuation of Islamabad’s longstanding practice of deflecting blame onto its neighbors for internal shortcomings.
The airstrikes, reportedly targeting alleged terrorist hideouts, resulted in civilian casualties, including women and children.
“We have noted the media reports on airstrikes on Afghan civilians, including women and children, leading to the tragic loss of several precious lives. We unequivocally condemn any attack on innocent civilians,” said External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal in a statement.
Jaiswal emphasized that Pakistan’s actions follow a familiar pattern. “It is an old practice of Pakistan to blame its neighbors for its own internal failures. We have also noted the response of an Afghan spokesperson in this regard,” he added.
The strikes have drawn widespread criticism, with many urging Pakistan to avoid escalating tensions in an already fragile region. India’s firm stance highlights its commitment to safeguarding regional stability and condemning violence against innocents.
