Pakistan's Foreign Office on Thursday slammed the "gratuitous and unwarranted" remarks made by the Indian Ministry of External Affairs on last week's kidnapping and assault of Afghanistan ambassador's daughter.

Foreign Office spokesperson Zahid Hafeez was responding to Indian foreign ministry's response to the incident wherein they said it was "shocking."

"India has no locus standi, whatsoever, on the matter,” Hafeez said at a press briefing.

The 27-year-old daughter of Afghanistan's ambassador, Silsila Alikhil, claims she was briefly kidnapped and assaulted last Friday in Islamabad.

However, the interior minister Sheikh Rasheed said their investigations reveal otherwise. He described the case as part of an "international racket" led by RAW to defame Pakistan.

The Indian foreign ministry spokesperson was responding to Rasheed's claims.

“Since the Pakistan interior minister has dragged India into it, I would only like to say that even by their standards, Pakistan’s denial of the victim’s account is stooping to a new low,” he said.

While denouncing India's statement, Pakistan Foreign Office also used the opportunity to remind how global organizations like the EU Disinfo Lab had established India as "a purveyor of anti-Pakistan propaganda globally."

"Even in the wake of the reported incident involving the daughter of the Afghan ambassador, Indian propaganda machinery against Pakistan was active and fake pictures of the ambassador’s daughter were being circulated by Indian Twitter handles and websites," the Foreign Office said.

The statement also added the only domains where India had set standards were "state-sponsored terrorism, illegal occupation, disregard of UN resolutions, mass murders and repression against women in the territory under its illegal occupation, political violence against minorities, and running organised fake propaganda networks around the world".

New Delhi, therefore, is "in no position to pontificate on ‘standards’ for other countries", it added.
