ISLAMABAD: Minister for Foreign Affairs Khawaja Asif on Friday slammed Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for repeatedly making false claims about the country carrying out surgical strikes inside Pakistan.

In a series of tweets, Asif said Modi has made repeated claims about “imaginary surgical strikes” either to shore up dwindling public support or because he is being made a fool of by his own army.

Asif went on to call Modi a “mass murderer” responsible for sponsoring genocide in held Kashmir and butchering religious minorities.

Pakistan on Thursday had also rejected the claims, with the Foreign Office claiming the statements false and baseless.
