India slams Pak on sponsoring terror

Salahuddin’s remarks proof of Pakistan’s continuing policy of cross border terrorism; Pakistan must give up its policy of cross-border terrorism, says MEA.
Strongly hitting out at Pakistan, India has asserted that the brazen admission by Hizbul terrorist Syed Salahuddin of perpetrating terror attacks on India and his confession of assistance from Pakistan was a proof of Islamabad’s policy of cross-border terrorism.

External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Gopal Baglay said the confession also affirms the complicity of Pakistan’s state structure in using terrorist proxies as a matter of policy against the neighbours.

The MEA spokesperson further said “the interview only highlights the unabashed manner in which terrorist organisations and leaders enjoy freedom of operations in Pakistan, including access to terror financing and procurement and supply of weapons for terrorism.”

The US had declared him a “Specially Designated Global Terrorist” on June 27.
