After Pakistani prime minister
Imran Khan's first statement on the
Pulwama attack, India today hit out at him, saying he should "stop misleading the world" and take credible and visible action against those behind the attack.
We are not surprised that
Pakistan PM Imran Khan refuses to acknowledge the attack on our security forces in Pulwama as an act of terrorism, read a statement from the
Ministry of External Affairs.
"It is regrettable that the Pakistani Prime Minister has insinuated that India's response to the terrorist attack is determined by the forthcoming General Election. India rejects this false allegation. India's democracy is a model for the world which Pakistan would never understand," said a foreign ministry statement.
The ministry also said that Pakistan has always denied its links to terrorism, and terror activities launched from its soil.
It is a well-known fact that Jaish-e-Mohammad (
JeM) and its leader Masood Azhar are based in Pakistan, the MEA said. “These should be sufficient proof for Pakistan to take action,” read MEA statement
Earlier in the day, Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan had accused India of blaming his government over the attack "without any evidence".
