Pakistan foreign ministry's statement on the 'terror' boat: "The ministry is opposed to terrorism in all its forms and manifestations. Pakistan has been the biggest victim of terrorism. The people and government of Pakistan are determined to eradicate this menace from our territory.

"Our brave armed forces are successfully conducting an across the board operation -- Zarb-e-Azb -- to root out terrorism. The people of Pakistan see escalation of tension by India on the LoC and the Working Boundary, through continuous unprovoked firing and targeting of civilians, as an attempt to distract our armed forces from its valiant mission against all terrorists.

"The baseless and preposterous Indian allegations regarding the so called terror boat from Pakistan are also in the same vein. Indian Spox made baseless and malicious allegations regarding citings of Punjabi/Urdu speaking terrorist elements in Afghanistan. India is reminded to refrain from attempts to create misunderstanding between Pakistan and Afghanistan, the two brotherly nations. These efforts are also in violation of all international norms."
