Pakistan Condemns terrorism: FO
ISLAMABAD, Dec 14: A Foreign Office spokesman on Friday said Pakistan will not allow its soil to be used for terrorism.
“We have neither allowed use of Pakistan’s soil for terrorism in the past, nor would we allow it in future,” Aziz Ahmed Khan stated.
He was asked to comment on Indian Foreign Minister Jaswant Singh’s statement in New Delhi on Friday, that the attack on Indian parliament building was the “handiwork” of Lashkar-i-Taiba and Jaish-i-Muhammad.
Mr Khan said: “If India provides us with evidence, we will examine it.”
“Pakistan has already strongly condemned the attack on the Indian parliament building resulting in a number of casualties,” he said and added: “Pakistan condemns terrorism in all its forms and manifestations.”
The spokesman said President Gen Pervez Musharraf had on Thursday sent a message of sympathy to Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee. He also referred to the statement issued by the foreign affairs ministry on Thursday, condemning the attack.—APP
