Blaming us is India's traditional tendency: Pak

September 19, 2016 09:21

Rejecting New Delhi's claims of Islamabad's involvement in Uri terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan has said that pointing fingers on them has become a traditional tendency of India after each terrorist attack.

"Pointing fingers at Pakistan has become a traditional tendency of India after each terrorist attack," the Dawn quoted Pakistan Foreign Office spokesperson Nafees Zakaria as saying.

"In the past many Indians were involved in the terrorist acts for which India had blamed Pakistan," he asserted.

Commenting on Indian Home Minister Rajnath Singh's statement wherein he declared Pakistan as a terrorist state, Zakaria said that India was trying to divert world's attention from what he termed as "human rights violations" being committed in Kashmir.

The Pakistan Foreign Office spokesperson also informed that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is going to strongly highlight the Kashmir issue in the UN General Assembly.

Branding Pakistan as a 'terrorist state' and stating that it should be identified and isolated as such, Singh had earlier said that there are definite and conclusive indications that the perpetrators of Uri attack were highly trained, heavily armed and specially equipped.

"I am deeply disappointed with Pakistan's continued and direct support to terrorism and terrorist groups," he said in a series of tweets.
