<p>&nbsp;&ldquo;When the False Flag Pulwama Operation incident happened, we offered to extend all-out cooperation to India but India failed to produce any concrete evidence. As I predicted in 2019, the same is happening again after the Pahalgam incident. Instead of introspection and investigation, Modi Sarkar is again placing the blame on Pakistan,&rdquo; he said and added being a country of 1.5 billion people, India needs to act responsibly instead of messing with a region already known as &ldquo;nuclear flashpoint&rdquo;.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Peace is our priority but it should not be mistaken as cowardice. Pakistan has got all the capabilities to give a befitting response to any Indian misadventure, as my government, backed by whole nation, did in 2019. I have always emphasised the importance of the Kashmiris&rsquo; right to self-determination, as guaranteed by United Nations resolutions,&rdquo; he said.</p>
<p>Khan further said that he had also been highlighting the fact that India, led by the ideology of the RSS, is a grave threat not only to the region but beyond it.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Indian oppression in Kashmir, intensified after the illegal abrogation of Article 370, has further fuelled the Kashmiri people&rsquo;s desire for freedom. Sadly, the nation has been divided by an illegitimate government imposed through fraudulent Form-47 results.&nbsp; And yet, ironically, Narendra Modi&rsquo;s aggression has united the people of Pakistan in one voice against Indian hostility. While we reject this fake regime, we stand firmly as one Pakistani nation and strongly condemn Modi&rsquo;s war-mongering and his dangerous ambitions that threaten regional peace,&rdquo; said Khan in a post on X.</p>
<p>Khan further said that it is foolish to expect self-serving politicians like Nawaz Sharif or Asif Zardari to take a strong stand against India and added that they will never dare to speak again India because of &ldquo;their ill-gotten money and business interests are abroad.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;They benefit from foreign investment, and to protect these same interests, they remain silent on India&rsquo;s aggression and baseless allegations against Pakistan. Their only fear is that if they speak the truth, Indian lobbies may freeze their offshore assets,&rdquo; Khan posted on X.</p>
<p>The former prime minister also called for unity to win against any &ldquo;external enemy&rdquo; and added that spending the energy of the state on political revenge is weakening the internal unity of the nation and is also affecting its ability to confront the &ldquo;external threats&rdquo;.</p>
<p>Twenty-six people, mostly tourists, were killed and several injured when terrorists opened fire at a meadow near the popular tourist town of Pahalgam in South Kashmir’s Anantnag district on April 22.</p>
