LUCKNOW, Dec 23: Former Chief Justice of Pakistan, Nasim Hasan Shah, has suggested an impartial inquiry, including one by the FBI, into the Dec 13 terrorist attack on Parliament and said Islamabad was in no way involved in the incident.

“Pakistan cannot be so foolish as to do such a thing. They know India is a powerful country and such an adventure would be fraught with danger,” Shah, who was here to participate in an international seminar of the Chief Justices from all over the world, said on Saturday.

He said India was wrong in turning down Pakistan’s request for a joint investigation.

“Peoples of both countries believe the most ridiculous and most extreme things about each other. So we must get to the truth. How can we get to the truth? It is by an impartial inquiry.”

Investigation into the attack could also be handed over to the FBI or any other independent agency to bring out the truth, he said.
