NEW DELHI: The Indian Navy on Tuesday dismissed as “false propaganda” Pakistan’s claim that it had thwarted an attempt by an Indian submarine to enter the country’s territorial waters.
In a statement, the Pakistan Navy claimed in Islamabad that it used specialized skills to ward off the Indian submarine from entering Pakistani waters.
“We have witnessed Pakistan indulging in false propaganda and spread of misinformation. The Indian Navy does not take cognizance of such propaganda. Our deployments remain undeterred,” the Indian Navy said.
In a brief statement, it said the Indian Navy remains deployed as necessary to protect national maritime interests.
The claim by Pakistan Navy came in the midst of latest flare-up between the two nuclear-armed neighbours.
“The Pakistan Navy used its specialized skills to ward off the submarine, successfully keeping it from entering Pakistani waters,” a spokesperson of Pakistan Navy said. (AGENCIES)
