New Delhi, March9 /--/ India on Tuesday took strong exception to claims being made by Pakistan that its intelligence agencies were behind the latest blast in Lahore.
Question the basis on which Pakistan’s interior minister Rehman Malik identified India as the "foreign hand" behind several attacks in his country, minister of state for defence Pallam Raju made it clear that Pakistan’s allegations that India is involved in the blast is not based on facts adding, “It’s unfortunate that they are making such statements.
Mr Raju added, “We understand, we empathise with Pakistan as they are also as a victim. We should act together in containing terror.”
On Monday, commenting on the attack on the FIA building that left 15 dead, Rehman Malik had said, “All the weapons are coming from Afghanistan. The signatures of India are very much there in weapons seized in (Pakistan's) tribal areas.”
Mr Malik said Pakistan would present "evidence" of India's alleged involvement in the attacks whenever talks are held between the two sides.
"We have compiled the reports and evidence and whenever India sits for talks, we will raise this issue. We have also raised it several times and will continue raising it.
"That's why we say India should come to the negotiating table and both sides can present their reservations and proof," he added.
It’s important to note that Rahman’s atrocious claims came even as the Pakistan Taliban have come out in the open and claimed responsibility for the blast. (PTI)
