Pak is nerve centre of terrorism: India

June 06, 2020 00:07

Calling Pakistan a "nerve centre" of terrorism, India on Friday asked Islamabad to introspect and put end to any kind of support for terrorism emanating from territories under its control.

In a rebuttal to Pakistan's Foreign Office who had claimed that MEA has misrepresented the Eleventh Report of the United Nations Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team , the MEA said that Pakistan's leadership is on record acknowledging that in the past terrorists used the country's soil to carry out terror attacks on other countries.

The UN report, issued last month, said there are some 6,500 Pakistani nationals among foreign terrorists operating in Afghanistan and the Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Tayiba play a key role in bringing foreign fighters into the war-torn country.

"Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs would do well to recall that their prime minister admitted last year that Pakistan hosts 30,000-40,000 terrorists. Pakistan's leadership is on record acknowledging that in past terrorists used the country's soil to carry out terror attacks on other countries," MEA spokesperson Anurag Srivastava said in response to media queries on a press release dated June 4 by Pakistan's Foreign Office.
