Pakistan has voiced serious concerns over India's jingoistic pursuit of lethal weapons.

Responding to the queries of media persons regarding test firing of nuclear capable intercontinental ballistic missile by India, at his weekly news briefing in Islamabad today, Foreign Office Spokesperson Asim Iftikhar said New Delhi's hostile posturing toward its neighbours further imperils peace and stability in South Asia.

The spokesperson said it must be alarming for the international community that at a time when the region is already facing the growing and real threat of extremist Hindutva Ideology which espouses territorial expansion, the BJP-RSS government is seeking an arms race.

The spokesperson said the recent missile test by India will further vitiate the political and security environment in the region.
