Pulwama Attack: Imran Khan promises action, backed with a warning to India

Islamabad : Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan reacted to deadly terrorist attack on CRPF personnel in Pulwama and claimed that his country has no role in the terrorist activity.

He also claimed that India has blamed Pakistan without any strong evidence in the matter.

“You (India) have blamed the Pakistan government without any evidence...If you have any evidence, we will act,” Imran Khan said.

He said, “It is in our interest that nobody from our soil spreads violence. I want to tell Indian government that we will take action if evidence is found against anyone from Pakistan.”

“What has Pakistan to gain from this? Why will Pakistan do this at a stage when it is moving towards stability,” said Imran Khan adding that “this is a Naya Pakistan with a new mindset.”

Calling for a dialogue with India, he said, “If you thinks you will attack us and we will not think of retaliating…We will retaliate. We all know starting a war is in the hands of humans, where it will lead us only God knows. This issue should be solved through dialogue.”

The reaction from Pakistan PM comes days after at least 40 CRPF personnel were martyred in a terror strike in Jammu and Kashmir. Pakistan backed Jaish-e-Mohammad had claimed the responsibility of the attack.
