America didn't warn Pakistan ahead of Obama’s visit: Jalil Abbas Jilani

Washington- Pakistan Ambassador to the United States Jalil Abbas Jilani today denied reports of a warning issued to Pakistan by the United States ahead of President Barack Obama’s visit to India.

“The Indian media has a tendency to exaggerate things,” Jilani said.

The media reports earlier said that the US had asked Pakistan to prevent any border violations during the visit.

Defending the government’s stance, he said, “US Secretary of State John Kerry, who visited Islamabad last week, deeply appreciated the steps taken by Pakistan against terrorism and extremism.”

“These actions are meant to purge our country of all such elements,” Jilani added.

Earlier, Indian Army Chief General Dalbir Singh accused Pakistan of supporting a ‘proxy war’ in Jammu and Kashmir.
