New Delhi: Days after Jaish-e-Mohammed chief was chargesheeted as number 1 accused for the ghastly Pulwama terror attacks, India hit out at Pakistan for giving shelter to the terrorist.
Speaking to media, the MEA spokesperson Anurag Srivastava said that enough evidence have been shared with Pakistan over his sinister plot to attack jawans, the latter continues to evade responsibility for the same.
External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Anurag Srivastava said Pulwama attack chargesheet was filed after a thorough and detailed probe, which took 1.5 years.
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.
“Jaish-e-Mohammad had claimed the responsibility of Pulwama attack. The organization and its leadership is in Pakistan. It is regrettable that Masood Azhar, the first accused in the chargesheet continues to find shelter in Pakistan. Enough evidence has been shared with Pakistan but it continues to evade responsibility,” Srivastava said.
He also said that Pakistan has not yet taken any credible action against perpetrators of the Mumbai terror attack of 2008 which resulted in loss of 165 innocent lives including 25 foreign nationals.
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.
