NEW DELHI: India today said it has “carefully noted” Pakistan Foreign Minister Sartaz Aziz’s remarks on detention of JeM chief Masood Azhar and the issue will be discussed when the Pakistani SIT will visit the country in connection with the Pathankot terror attack.
External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Vikas Swarup said India was awaiting a firm proposal from Pakistan on “dates and composition” of the SIT and only after that security agencies will decided what all places will be visited by the team when asked about Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar’s comments that the SIT will not be allowed to visit Pathankot air base, the site of the attack.
“We have carefully noted the comments made (by Aziz) on Maulana Masood Azhar. I think it will be a subject of discussion once the SIT visits India,” Swarup said but did not give a direct reply on whether Pakistan has officially informed India about the JeM chief. (AGENCIES)
