MUMBAI – Indian government on Wednesday has rejected Prime Minister (PM)Imran Khan’s offer to investigate the Pulwama attack that killed 44 CentralReserve Police Force (CRPF) soldiers in occupied Kashmir.
In a statement issued by Indian Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), it wasstated, “We are not surprised that the prime minister of Pakistan refusesto acknowledge the attack on our security forces in Pulwama as an act ofterrorism. Prime minister of Pakistan has neither chosen to condemn thisheinous act nor condoled with the bereaved families.”
“The Prime Minister of Pakistan has offered to investigate the matter ifIndia provides proof. This is a lame excuse. In the horrific attack inMumbai on 26/11, proof was provided to Pakistan. Despite this, the case hasnot progressed for the last more than 10 years. Likewise, on the terrorattack on Pathankot airbase, there has been no progress,” the ministryalleged.
It also refused to accept that Pakistan itself has been the biggest victimof terrorism.
Earlier, PM Imran vowed to retaliate against Indian misadventurelink thinking after New Delhiaccused Islamabad of involvement in the Pulwama attack.
