Pakistan denies accusation that the militants involved in storming a parliamentary camp in Jammu and Kashmir belonged to Pakistan. Two militants opened fired at a paramilitary camp in Srinagar Wednesday killing at least five security forces personnel and injuring eight others.
“It (an ointment tube found on the militants) is suspected to be of Pakistani origin,” Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde said, adding that the assailants were fidayeen “suspected to be of foreign origin.”
The security forces later took down the militants in a standoff in Srinagar. According to Indian authorities, the militants belong to Pakistan, while Pakistan foreign ministry has dismissed the allegations.
“Pakistan strongly rejects the remarks made by Indian Home Secretary R.K. Singh alleging that ‘prima facie evidence suggests that the militants who attacked the members of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) were from across the border, they were probably from Pakistan’,” the foreign ministry said in a statement late Wednesday.
“We feel that this trend of making irresponsible statements and knee-jerk reactions by senior Indian government functionaries have the potential of undermining the efforts made by both sides to normalize relation between the two countries.
“Pakistan, which is itself a victim of terrorism and has rendered immense sacrifices in its efforts against this menace, condemns such actions of terrorism in the strongest possible terms and calls upon the government of India to carry out a thorough investigation into the incident before leveling such accusations which are counterproductive and serve no purpose.
“Pakistan remains committed to discussing and resolving all outstanding issues with India through a meaningful dialogue.”
