Calling it shameful act Pakistan deplores Modi for distorting history in tweets about Partition
Pakistan on Saturday lamented Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for distorting history after he announced that August 14 (Pakistan's Independence Day) would be observed as "Partition Horrors Remembrance Day" in India.


As Pakistan is celebrating August 14- the day it secured freedom from British rule and established a new state freed from India- Narendra Modi tweeted that the day would be "remembered as Partition Horrors Remembrance Day".
The Foreign Office replied: "As for Indian Prime Minister’s tweet about the events of 1947, no modern state is so much in contradiction with itself as the Indian state — the so-called 'largest democracy'."

The FO said it is "shameful that the practitioners of 'Hindutva' ideology, and purveyors of hate and violence, would so hypocritically and one-sidedly invoke the tragic events and mass migration that occurred in the wake of independence in 1947".

It said that it is the "forte of the RSS-BJP regime" to distort history and stoke communalism.
"Far from healing old wounds, they would go to any extent to sow further dissensions for electoral gains," the Foreign Office noted.

It expressed the confidence, however, that the "people of goodwill India" will "completely reject this political stunt".
"Pakistan is sure that the people of goodwill in India will reject this "political and publicity stunt" that only seeks to divide," the FO spokesman said.
