Indian media continues finding excuses to blame Pakistan to please and embolden a weakened Modi government. If it can’t find any excuses and evidence to accuse Pakistan, it just invents them.

Recently, a hawkish, xenophobic, and rabid Indian channel ran “news” with red flashing screens masquerading as the breaking news that 600 SSG commandos of Pakistan had entered the Jammu valley and were busy attacking Indian occupying forces.

Indian media continues to fabricate baseless accusations to embolden a weakened Modi government.

While it used hyperventilation to create hype, no major international media picked it up, as there was nothing newsworthy about those manufactured lies.

Now, The Economic Times, from their Delhi Bureau (Not Dhaka), has come up with a lie to hurt the relations between Pakistan and Bangladesh.

“The civil society in Bangladesh has accused the Pakistan High Commission in Dhaka of interfering in the internal affairs of the country through its tacit support and active guidance to the radical student protestors in the country”.

It further says, “Several reports suggested that the Pakistan mission is in touch with a section of student protesters belonging to pro-Pakistan Jamaat, which is banned in Bangladesh.”

The paper specializing in economic news went out of its way to manufacture a news story to create tensions between Bangladesh and Pakistan when both countries have their hands full with their internal issues.

The Economic Times’ baseless allegations against Pakistan aim to damage Pakistan-Bangladesh diplomatic relations.

The recent turbulence in Bangladesh has its roots in its national history and politics, which have nothing to do with Pakistan. Pakistan recognized Bangladesh as a sovereign and independent country barely two years after its independence, and the people of Pakistan sincerely wish that Bangladesh would overcome and resolve its issues indigenously without the support and interference of any other country.

The Economic Times, being very economical with the truth, has invented some kind of non-existent “civil society” accusing Pakistan of interfering and being “in touch” with the student protesters. The paper has not mentioned any facts about this accusation. It looks more like a cheap attempt to blame and insult Pakistan in a clear attempt to damage the diplomatic relations between both countries.

Pakistan maintains a consistent policy of non-interference in other countries’ affairs.

When contacted, Foreign Office Spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said, “Pakistan has a consistent policy of non-interference in the affairs of other countries.”

While India continues to destroy South Asian cooperation by paralyzing SAARC, it goes the extra mile to hurt the relations between other small nations in the region.

We hope that the people of Bangladesh can see through these cheap attempts to harm the relations between both countries and that they will overcome their issues soon.
