Top Indian Minister threatens Pakistan after meeting of Cabinet Committee on security

NEW DELHI - Blaming Pakistan for the attack in Indian-occupied Kashmir, India has vowed to launch an all-out effort to ‘isolate Pakistan’ across all diplomatic fronts.

India’s finance minister made these remarks on Friday after attending the meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security.

Without presenting any details or proof, Arun Jaitley blamed ‘Pakistani hand’ in the deadliest attack on Indian forces in decades and said the government had withdrawn the ‘Most-Favoured Nation’ status to Pakistan.

He affirmed that Indian government will make all efforts to bring the perpetrators of the attack to justice and those aiding and abetting the perpetrators will have to pay a ‘heavy price.

Earlier on Wednesday, a suicide bomber had ramped his car laden with 350 kgs of explosive into a truck of Indian paramilitary soldiers on Srinagar Highway near Pulwama area of IOK. The blast killed at least 44 Indian Central Reserve Police Force (CPRF) soldiers and injured scores of others.

Following the blast, the Indian military launched a search operation in the area and made several arrests.

The responsibility for the attack was claimed by a group fighting against the atrocities of Indian forces in the oppressed region.
