Adviser points out Indian interference in Pakistan
‘Nawaz seeks information regarding Samjhauta Express terrorist incident’
INPISLAMABAD - Adviser on National Security and Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz on Monday said that Pakistan had been deeply concerned, not only about hostile statements from Indian ministers, but also about Indian interference in Pakistan, including continuing support for insurgency in Balochistan.
Addressing a press conference regarding Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s visit to Ufa, Sartaj said that India on the other hand has been repeating its traditional accusations of cross-border terrorism, while overlooking the decisive counterterrorism campaign launched by Pakistan in the past 2 years.
“To address these acrimonious concerns the two sides agreed that the national security advisers of the two countries would meet, first in New Delhi and then in Islamabad,” Sartaj said. He also said that the next step would depend on progress in meetings between the advisers.
On Mumbai trial case, the adviser said that Pakistan needed more evidence and information to conclude the trial, adding that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif also sought information on the progress made on the trial of Samjhauta Express terrorist incident.
He said that Pakistan’s communication with its neighbours and constructive engagement with the rest of the world was predicated on “our firm commitment to protect security and promote national interests.”
