The Ministry of External Affairs on Sunday lashed out at Pakistan for accusing India of sponsoring terrorism and called it a “desperate attempt” by the neighbouring country to divert attention from its own activities.
Foreign ministry spokesperson Anurag Srivastava called Pakistan’s accusations “another futile anti-India propaganda exercise”. “The so-called claims of ‘proof’ against India enjoy no credibility, are fabricated and represent figments of imagination,” Srivastava said in response to questions on Pakistan’s allegations.
Srivastava was referring to a comment made by Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi on Saturday. Qureshi had said during a press briefing that Pakistan had “irrefutable evidence” of India’s direct sponsorship of terrorism on its soil and that the proof will be shared with the United Nations, Reuters reported.
The foreign ministry spokesperson said that no one will believe Pakistan’s version, given its record in dealing with terrorism. “This desperate attempt will find few takers as the international community is aware of Pakistan’s tactics and proof of its terror sponsorship has been admitted by none other than its own leadership,” Srivastava added.
