OIC-CFM highlights threat to regional security due to ‘irresponsible’ Indian missile launch: Moeed

Islamabad

ISLAMABAD:National Security Adviser (NSA) Dr Moeed Yusuf on Thursday said the Council of Foreign Ministers of Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC-CFM) in its 48th session highlighted the threat posed by India’s recent missile launch into Pakistan to the regional security.

“We hope that OIC CFM 2022’s (joint) declaration will increase global calls for accountability and a transparent joint investigation will be ensured (into the incident),” the NSA said ibn a series of posts on his Twitter handle.

He said ,”Make no mistake, India has become an irresponsible state with nuclear weapons and the world is beginning to recognise Pakistan’s longstanding concern on this count.”

The countries intending to buy the Indian missiles and other equipment, he added, were now deciding to reconsider their proposals. “It is also only natural that (the) countries who were reportedly looking to buy Indian missiles and other equipment are having second thoughts.”

He said,”The missile ‘misfire’ from India must remain an issue of international concern. Indian attempts to brush it off cannot mask the gravity of the episode.”

He cautioned the world community that the lack of any Indian response to Pakistan’s call for joint investigation and lack of information about India’s so-called internal inquiry was a wake up call for them.

“This reflects the mindset of the Modi regime and the character of the Indian state today,” he added.

Dr Moeed said Pakistan would keep sensitising the world on the risks posed by the Indian nuclear programme. “On our part, we will continue to sensitise international opinion on the dangers of India’s nuclear programme and will continue efforts to ensure strategic stability while defeating aggression at all costs.”
