MEA rejects report in Pak media calling surgical strike a 'bluff'

October 14, 2016 08:50

India has rejected a Pakistani newspaper's report saying the 'Indian foreign secretary has admitted that surgical strike was a bluff'.

Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Vikas Swarup said in statement, 'News International Pakistan's story titled 'Indian FS admits surgical strikes was a bluff' is completely concocted and baseless.'

The report said, 'The Indian foreign secretary in a recent meeting with German ambassador in New Delhi is said to have admitted that there was no 'surgical strike' undertaken by the Indian Army inside Azad Kashmir (Pakistan-occupied Kashmir).'

Swarup said German Ambassador Dr Martin Ney was in the group of foreign envoys briefed by Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar on September 29 on the surgical strikes.

'They have had no further conversation since on this subject,' Swarup said.
