Islamabad rejected on Friday a report alleging a commitment by Pakistan to supply Iran with medium-range ballistic missiles.

During her weekly press briefing, Foreign Office (FO) Spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch rejected a Jerusalem Post’s report that alleged that “if the conflict between Iran and Israel escalates, Pakistan plans to supply Iran with Shaheen-III medium-range ballistic missiles.”

“Such reports are patently false. Before paying any attention to such reports, it is important to reflect on the source behind such baseless reports and the malicious agenda behind them,” the spokesperson was quoted as saying by state-run APP.

In historic visit, Iran President Raisi says decision made to increase bilateral trade five-fold to $10bn

“This is a critical time in the Middle East. We, therefore, urge all parties, including the media, not to indulge in peddling of fake news.”

Pakistan rejects Indian statements of involvement in Bangladesh developments

Meanwhile, in response to another question about Indian reports of Pakistan’s involvement in Bangladesh incidents, the FO spokesperson emphasised that such reports depict India’s disturbing obsession with Pakistan, reported Radio Pakistan.

“Indian political ledgers and their media have a habit of blaming Pakistan for their failures in domestic and foreign policy,” she said.

The spokesperson further said Pakistan and Bangladesh have positive relations which have continued to grow over the last several years.

The widespread violent protests that started in July against public sector job quotas for families of veterans of Bangladesh’s 1971 independence war culminated in an end to the 15-year long tenure of Sheikh Hasina in power.

The deadly demonstrations forced the Bangladeshi army to step in, with the country’s army chief General Waker-uz-Zaman already announcing the formation of an interim government and Professor Yunus to lead the caretaker setup.

FO must set up a section to ward-off fake news n propaganda, its common sense to employ competent people for this job. Its apparent, that current FO staff has little clue on how to handle it.

You can't even protest against Israel in Pakistan without running the risk of getting arrested.
