India nailing Pakistan by apprising nations of its role in terror

NEW DELHI: The government has indicated that it was in the process of appraising interlocutors bilaterally and in multilateral fora to ‘expose’ Pakistan after the capture of Lashkare-Taiba terrorist Bahadur Ali.

“We are in touch with important interlocutors, bilaterally as well as multilaterally, to put across the correct picture. Let me also say it does not matter how many letters are written, it will still not whitewash cross-border terrorism,” MEA spokesperson Vikas Swarup said amid Islamabad’s global overdrive on the Kashmir issue.


"Pakistan has no locus standi in addressing any aspect of the situation in Jammu and Kashmir, which is an internal matter of India, except to put an end to all cross-border terrorism, infiltration and support & instigation to terrorism and violence against India,” Swarup said.

“The capture of LeT terrorist Bahadur Ali is yet another proof of Pakistan’s continued involvement in cross-border terrorism and infiltration into India, despite several assurances that it will not allow its territory to be used for terrorism against any other country. Pakistan now stands completely exposed,” Vikas Swarup said.

He indicated that contacts between foreign secretaries and NSAs have been adversely impacted following Islamabad’s recent rhetoric and support to recent developments in Jammu and Kashmir.
