Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi on Wednesday accused India of plotting an attack on his country to divert its Opposition's attention from its border dispute with China. Speaking to Geo Pakistan, Qureshi said, "India's mood is clear (for all to see) as it wants to divert attention from its border dispute with China to Pakistan." Qureshi claimed that ndia was finding excuses to launch a 'false flag operation' against Pakistan. The Opposition in India is raising questions that their government can't answer," he said. 

Qureshi warned India to refrain from launching any attacks on his country, saying Pakistan would respond with full force if New Delhi embarks on any misadventure."Stating that India had levelled baseless allegations against Pakistani diplomats of spying in New Delhi, Qureshi alleged that the Pakistani staff was harassed in India and their cars were followed by authorities. He said that Pakistan had not only condemned the allegations but also rejected them. He said that the Indian Charge d' Affaires in Islamabad was summoned on Tuesday and told that the same treatment would be meted out to the Indian staff. 

Earlier, Pakistani authorities had said that two people, identified as drivers for the Indian High Commission, were arrested when they hit a pedestrian and tried to flee. They said police searched the vehicle and found counterfeit currency inside.The two were released to the high commission and were transported to the border, where they crossed into India, authorities said.Qureshi alleged that India, “after being beaten and embarrassed” by China in the Himalayan incident was trying to find an excuse for an operation against Pakistan.
