NEW DELHI: India today reacted strongly to reports of Pakistan setting up a special group to “expose” New Delhi’s alleged atrocities in Kashmir, saying it should focus its energies on “stemming the rot of terrorism instead of expending its breath” in making baseless charges.

External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Vikas Swarup also took a dig at Pakistan Prime Minister’s foreign affairs adviser Sartaj Aziz for his remarks that Islamabad would reach out to Indians who are opposed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “extremist policies”, saying probably he has not anticipated the kind of reception he may recieve from them.

“Pakistan would be well advised to focus its energies on stemming the rot of terrorism instead of expending its breath in making baseless allegations. He (Aziz) would be well advised to rather woo Pakistanis to end his Government’s policy of state sponsorship of terrorism,” Swarup said.

He was reacting to reports quoting Aziz as saying that Pakistan has set up a high-level committee to formulate “a doable and sustainable” policy to highlight the Kashmir issue globally and is reaching out to Indians who are opposed to Modi’s “extremist policies”. (AGENCIES)
