Pakistan ready
to extend cooperation to India: FO
ISLAMABAD—Foreign Office Spokesperson
Tasneem Aslam has said that Pakistan is
ready to extend cooperation to India for
investigations into Mumbai bombings.
“India has been misusing this unfortunate
incident and irresponsibly levelling
allegations against Pakistan” Tasneem told
state run TV channel in an interview .
She said, there was no pressure on
Pakistan from international community.
Rather, she said India has lost its
credibility at the international level
because of over-playing this incident.
The spokesperson said that many countries
had asked India clearly that such
allegations should not be levelled against
another country without solid evidence.
She said, it has become Indian practice
that they accuse Pakistan immediately
whenever a terrorist act takes place
there.
Tasneem Aslam said that Indian security
agencies have always tried to prove
involvement of Pakistan in every terrorist
act. They use torture and other tactics to
get confessional statements by people
against Pakistan.
She said, Indian agencies force detained
persons to give statement that they got
training in Pakistan.
To another question about Indian statement
that proof would be provided to Pakistan
she said, no proof or evidence of any type
was provided to Pakistan, neither in this
case nor in earlier ones.
She said that India has been accusing
Pakistan of involvement in many terrorist
acts. Pakistan time and again has asked
for proof but India failed to do so.
To a question about Indian Prime
Minister's recent statement she said,
"First of all, India will have to tell us
what type of cooperation they want from us
and on what basis."
Foreign Office Spokesperson said, "We
cooperate with international community. "
This cooperation and help is based upon
some information or evidence, she added.
To another question, she said that it was
for the first time that Indian leadership
has acknowledged that Pakistan itself was
victim of terrorism and, we should
cooperate against a common enemy.
She further said that, "We too can get
Indian cooperation if any terrorist act
takes place in Pakistan." —Agencies |
