Pakistan has raised objections over a satellite launch scheduled for today at the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)-operated Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota. Pakistan Foreign Office spokesperson Mohammad Faisal warned New Delhi against using satellites for military purposes as it could destabilize balance of power in the region. All space technologies, including earth observation satellites, are inherently dual use and can be employed for both civilian and military purposes and therefore it is essential that such pursuits are not directed towards a build-up of destabilizing military capabilities, which can negatively impact the regional strategic stability,a release from Pakistans Foreign Office read.
