ISLAMABAD – Pakistani agencies carries out the thorough investigations andthe internal forensic audit of the Pulwama attack in Indian OccupiedKashmir.
A thorough probe failed to find any evidence of the use of Pakistan’s soilby any terror group for the last month’s deadly suicide attack in Indianoccupied Kashmir (IoK), media reports said quoting a senior securityofficial on Sunday.
Nearly four dozen Indian soldiers were killed when a young Kashmiri drove avehicle full of explosives into a military convoy in the Pulwama districtof IOK on February 14. The Jaish-e-Muhammad (JeM) militant group which,according to India, operates from Pakistan, purportedly claimedresponsibility for the attack.
“Pakistani authorities had conducted investigations into the Pulwama attackand found no evidence whatsoever of any involvement of Pakistan or anyorganisation in the attack,” a senior official told in an interview withlocal media.
Prime Minister Imran Khan had offered India help in investigation andpromised to take action against any group found involved in the Pulwamaattack. However, New Delhi rejected the offer and instead started whippingup war hysteria.
India also shared with Pakistan a so-called dossier containing what itcalled evidence of JeM’s involvement in the Pulwama attack. However, thesecurity official rejected the notion that the document contains anyincriminating evidence against any group as claimed by India.
The National Security Committee, which met immediately after the Pulwamaattack, had decided to launch a decisive purge against all proscribedgroups according to the National Action Plan (NAP).
Subsequently, Jamaatud Dawa (JuD) and Falah-e-Insaniat Foundation (FIF) –the two charities run by Hafiz Saeed – were banned in the country.
