ISLAMABAD: Pakistan was today in denial mode over assertions from India that the terrorist caught alive after the ambush on a BSF convoy in Udhampur yesterday was a Pakistani national and asked New Delhi not to make “accusations” without proof.
Reacting to statements from India on the Pakistani origins of Mohammed Naved Yakub, Foreign Office Spokesperson Syed Qazi Khalilullah said the Indian claim was baseless.
“We have repeatedly asked India to refrain from accusations,” he said.
Khalilullah said they had also seen media reports and they would not offer any comment.
“We expect the Indian authorities to share information with us on the claims that are being made in the media,” he told reporters.
“We have said many times that making immediate accusations on Pakistan is not correct. These things should be based on facts. We expect that whenever Pakistan is being accused of something, it shall be accompanied by concrete evidence,” Khalilullah said. (AGENCIES)
