ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Sunday asked the Indian Deputy High Commissioner Gaurav Ahluwalia to convey to his leadership that there should be no misadventure against Pakistan, as there was credible intelligence that plans were afoot for another act of aggression.“Yes, I summoned the Indian deputy high commissioner today in line with the briefing given by Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi. I have put out a Tweet but the Foreign Office will not be issuing any statement on the demarche,” Dr Mohammad Faisal, DG South Asia and Saarc, told The News. “New Delhi has been clearly informed that Pakistan wants peace and resolution of all issues through dialogue. Pakistan does not wish to adversely affect regional peace and stability rather both should collectively work towards economic prosperity of the region,” he said. The Indian senior envoy was summoned soon after Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood told the media in Multan that there was reliable intelligence with the government that India was contemplating another act of aggression against Pakistan between April 1 and 20."After consultation with Prime Minister Imran Khan, we have decided to share this information with the people of Pakistan as well as the international community immediately. It is our policy to keep the nation informed," the minister was quoted in a statement issued by the Foreign Office."Pakistan has apprised all five permanent member states of the United Nations Security Council [China, France, Russia, United Kingdom, and United States] of India's attempts to disrupt peace," Qureshi was quoted by the Foreign Office."The international community must take notice of India's irresponsible behaviour. The world must not stay silent, or peace and stability in South Asia could suffer," Qureshi said.
