NEW DELHI - Irked India on Friday rejected Pakistan's response on verdict in the Samjhauta Express blast case.
Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said, "There has been no cooperation from Pakistan. We reject Pakistan's attempt to politicise the matter. It is being done to deflect attention from their failure in bringing perpetrators of several terrorist attacks in India and region to justice."
The MEA Spokesperson Raveesh Kumar in a press conference said, "We demand that Pakistan should take immediate, credible and irreversible measures against cross-border terrorism without any discrimination and without resorting to such gimmicks."
His remarks came after Islamabad conveyed "concerns" regarding the acquittal of the four suspects in the 2007 Samjhauta Express blast case to several countries on Wednesday through its Foreign Secretary Tehmina Janjua.
The Indian High Commissioner Ajay Bisaria was summoned by Acting Foreign Secretary in Islamabad after the Samjhauta verdict was given by the special court in Panchkula, Haryana and a strong protest was lodged by on the acquittal. Pakistan called it travesty of justice & one that "exposes the sham credibility of the Indian Courts."
