Malik claims foreign diplomats helping local extremists unleash terror in Pak | Pakistan Interior Minister Rehman Malik has claimed that foreign diplomats were supporting local terrorists who
have wreaked havoc in the country in the recent past. Talking to reporters after meeting people who were injured in Monday's twin blasts at the Moon market here,
Malik said that some of the diplomats were assisting the militants, but they could
not be arrested under the Geneva Convention. He said that no terrorist came to
Pakistan from abroad, and that all of them were locals getting assistance from
neighbouring countries. Later, during a press conference, Malik said Islamabad
would act accordingly if it discovers India's hand in recent terror activities
in Pakistan. "The government will effectively respond if it is discovered that
India was involved in terrorist attacks in the country," The Daily Times quoted
Malik, as saying. It should be mentioned here that just a couple of days ago,
Malik had claimed that Interior Ministry has substantial evidence to prove India's
involvement in extremists activities inside Pakistan's border, which had been
handed over to the Foreign Ministry for further action. The Foreign Ministry,
however, rejected the evidence, saying more evidence was needed to 'plausibly
argue' that India is involved in fanning insurgency inside Pakistan. "The possibility
that there are elements who want to destabilise the country cannot be ruled out.
But information received by us in this regard, is insufficient. We need more information
and material to plausibly argue our case," Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi
had said. |
