ISLAMABAD   -   Pakistan yesterday rejected India’s denial of Involvement in June 23 terrorist attack in Lahore.

“We reject Indian denial of involvement in the 23 June 2021 terrorist attack in Lahore. There is irrefutable evidence of India’s aiding, abetting and financing of this terrorist incident. We have pointed out in the past also Indian state sponsorship of terrorism in Pakistan,” Foreign Office spokesperson Zahid Hafeez Chaudhri said.

He said there was no doubt that the intelligence agency from across the border was involved in planning and executing terrorist attacks against Pakistan.

“Commander Kulbhushan Jadhav, who was caught red-handed in March 2016, is the most familiar and undeniable face of India’s state-sponsorship of terrorism against Pakistan,” he added.

The spokesperson said use of terrorism as an instrument of state policy by India makes it culpable under international law, UN sanctions regime, and international counter-terrorism conventions.
