The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Thursday lashed out at Pakistan's National Security Adviser Sartaj Aziz and former military dictator General Pervez Musharraf for making anti-India comments, saying it reflected Islamabad's frustration as their real face has been exposed before the world.
"Whatever Pakistan, Sartaz Aziz and Musharraf are saying it's out of frustration because their real face has been exposed before the world. Even the UN has snubbed them. So, they are saying this out of frustration," said BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra.
Aziz has claimed that the current border tension between New Delhi and Islamabad was part of a bigger conspiracy by the Indian Government to blame Pakistan as well as exploit the border issue to attract voters in the state elections.
He said that India cannot carry out 'surgical strikes' inside Pakistan as it would result in a 'response'.
Meanwhile, Musharraf has said that Pakistan was capable of inciting violence in Kashmir.
Kashmir is waiting to be incited and Pakistan is capable of inciting violence," he said amid tensions between India and Pakistan along the Line of Control (LoC) and International Border.
