'Stop misleading the world': India rejects Pak allegations on Pulwama

February 19, 2019 18:43

The ministry of external affairs has responded to Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan's assertion that Islamabad was nowhere linked to the Pulwama terror attack.

In a point-by-point rebuttal, the MEA said it was not surprised that the "Prime Minister of Pakistan refuses to acknowledge the attack on our security forces in Pulwama as an act of terrorism."

The PM of Pakistan has neither chosen to condemn this heinous act nor condoled with the bereaved families, it added.

The statement released by the MEA further said, "Disclaiming any link between the terrorist attack and Pakistan is an oft-repeated excuse by Pakistan. The Pakistani Prime Minister has ignored claims made by the Jaish-e-Mohammed, as well as by the terrorist, who perpetrated this heinous crime. It is a well-known fact that Jaish-e-Mohammed and its leader Masood Azhar are based in Pakistan. These should be sufficient proof for Pakistan to take action."
