REBUTTAL ON PAK ALLEGATIONS


Pakistan Defence spokesperson Maj Gen Rashid Qureshi’s allegation that Indian armed forces had launched an attack on Pakistani post in Gultari sector of Kashmir on 22 Aug 2002, employing artillery and air power, is false and baseless. It is reiterated that Indian armed forces have neither crossed Line of Control nor attacked any place whatsoever.

The Pakistan allegations are apparently an effort at spreading disinformation and malicious propaganda to malign India internationally.
