India on Monday strongly reacted to Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan's tweet in which he accused the Indian security forces of killing innocent Kashmiris.

"Strongly condemn the new cycle of killings of innocent Kashmiris by the Indian security forces. It is time India realise it must move to resolve the Kashmir dispute through dialogue in accordance with the UNSC resolutions & the wishes of the Kashmiri people," Imran Khan had said in a tweet.

Khan's remarks came a day after six civilians were killed after an explosive went off at an encounter site in Kulgam district of South Kashmir.

However, reacting to his tweet, the official Spokesperson of the Ministry of External Affairs Raveesh Kumar said that the remarks made by Khan in his tweet are deeply regrettable.

"Instead of making comments on India‘s internal affairs, Pakistan leadership should look inwards and address its own issues," Kumar said.

India also said that Pakistan would serve the interest of the people of the region by taking credible action against all kind of support to terrorism and terror infrastructure from all territories under its control rather than supporting and glorifying terrorists and terror activities against India and its other neighbours.

"Pakistan's deceitful stand on dialogue, while supporting terror and violence, stands exposed to the whole world," Ravish Kumar said.

Three militants were killed Sunday in an encounter with security forces in Kulgam district, while six civilians lost their lives in a blast following the gunfight there.

It is not the first time Khan has spoken about Kashmir. In September, New Delhi called off a meeting between the foreign ministers of India and Pakistan, citing killings of Indian security personnel by Pakistan-based entities and the release of Pakistani postage stamps "glorifying a terrorist and terrorism".

In his victory speech after the July elections, Khan expressed his willingness to improve Pakistan's ties with India and said that his government would like the leaders of the two sides to resolve all disputes, including the core issue of Kashmir, through talks.

He said good India-Pakistan relations will be beneficial for the entire region.

India maintains that the entire state of Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of the country and Pakistan is in illegal occupation of a part of the state's territory.
