PM Shehbaz says India shifted the entire blame of the April 22 Pahalgam attack, which claimed 26 lives in occupied Kashmir, on Pakistan without any evidence.

“They tried to convince the entire world that, god forbid, Pakistan was involved in the incident,” the premier said.

He recalled the Jaffarabad Express hijacking, which took place two months back, and highlighted that the “backers of the attack had links with India”. “We have irrefutable evidence regarding it,” he said, lamenting that the neighbouring country “made fun” of the attack in a way which will always be remembered in history.
