NEW DELHI: Unlike in the case of Pathankot terror attack, India’s offer to Pakistan to verify involvement of its nationals in the Uri terror strike will be “limited” to providing finger prints and DNA samples of terrorists killed in the incident.
Briefing reporters a day after Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar summoned Pakistan High Commissioner to India Abdul Basit and issued a demarche over the Uri attack, MEA Spokesperson Vikas Swarup said “irrefutable evidence” was shown to the envoy that points to the involvement of Pak-based groups and individuals or territory under Pakistan control.
Noting that the Foreign Secretary conveyed details of the various items that had been recovered from the terrorists, he said, Jaishankar “showed the Pakistan High Commissioner the GPS tracking devices, pictures of Pakistan made grenades and the finger prints of one of the terrorists.
“Foreign Secretary offered that in case the Government of Pakistan wishes to investigate these cross-border attacks, we are ready to provide finger prints and DNA samples of terrorists killed in the Uri and Poonch incidents. (AGENCIES)
