ISLAMABAD, May 14: Minister for Information Nisar A. Memon on Tuesday rejected claims that Pakistan was involved in the attacks in the Indian Occupied Kashmir.

Talking to BBC radio, he said: “Whenever there are attacks in India, it (India) claims to have been done by Pakistan.”

“I totally reject this idea. India has miserably failed in this game. In the past they have resorted to all kinds of methods to malign Pakistan,” he added.

India wants to isolate Pakistan in the world, but it has neither succeeded nor will it ever be able to do so, he added.

He said Pakistan too is a victim of terrorism and the recent bomb blast in Karachi is one such incident, he added. He urged India to resolve its internal problems.

He said the government has curbed the activities of extremist organizations and arrested many of their members.

“The government’s policy is not to allow anybody to use its soil for acts of terrorism against another country,” he added.

Nisar said: “If India says that people from Pakistan’s side of the border are crossing over, may I ask, what are the thousands of Indian troops doing in held Kashmir?”—APP
