Pak still evades responsibility for Pulwama terror attack: MEA

0 32

New Delhi: India on Thursday said enough evidence has been shared with Pakistan on Pulwama attack but the neighbouring country continues to evade responsibility.

Replying to a media query on the issue, External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Anurag Srivastava said Pulwama attack chargesheet was filed after probe of a year and a half.

He said it has been filed to address the act of terrorism and to bring perpetrators of the heinous crime to justice.

The spokesperson pointed out that Jaish-e-Mohammed had claimed responsibility for the Pulwama attacks, and the organisation and its leaders are in Pakistan.

He said it is regrettable that Masood Azhar, the first accused in the chargesheet, continues to find shelter in the neighbouring country.
He said Islamabad has not yet taken any credible action against perpetrators of the Mumbai attacks of 2008 which resulted in loss of 165 lives.

On denial by Pakistan foreign office of presence of Dawood Ibrahim, the spokesperson said Pakistan’s assertion that the SRO does not mean that it admits to the presence of listed individuals on its territory lays bare its insincerity in responding to legitimate expectations of the world that they will track down international terrorists based on its soil.

He said Pakistan has not only maintained its opposition to this international consensus but has also chosen not to act against them.
He stated that Pakistan has never taken any credible and verifiable action against terror entities or listed individuals, including the most wanted ones.

The spokesperson said this denial by their Foreign Office calls into question their intentions.

He said Pakistan must take credible action and ensure that the listed individuals are prosecuted
