Nisar Ali Khan's statement came after Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Advisor on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz earlier today also criticised India for opposing the USD 46 billion project launched in April.
The interior minister said in a statement that India's reaction had "exposed its real face before the world" as it finds its neighbour's progress and development "unacceptable".
He alleged that India's intention is not only to destabilise and hegemonise Pakistan but also to use any means at its disposal to keep Pakistan backward and underdeveloped.
He said the country is united to carry forward the CPEC to its logical conclusion "irrespective of all scheming and conspiring on part of its enemies".
