India trashes reports of deliberately releasing river waters causing flood in Pakistan: ‘Baseless and contrary to facts’
India's Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal dismissed Pakistani media claims that India deliberately caused flooding in Pakistan, labeling them as 'baseless and contrary to the facts.' He attributed the increased flow in the River Chenab to heavy monsoon rainfall in Jammu and the surrounding areas, as confirmed by Pakistan's own flood forecasting division. Jaiswal emphasized that the flooding was a natural response to weather conditions, not a result of Indian actions, and refuted allegations regarding withheld flood warnings.
