Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that the Pulwama terror attack that left 40 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel dead, was an “indigenous thing” that happened in Kashmir.
Imran Khan also said that since Jaish-e-Mohammed, a terror group based in Pakistan, claimed responsibility, the country came into the picture.
But Pakistan is not to be blamed for the attack.
Forty CRPF personnel were killed on February 14 when a CRPF convoy was attacked by a Jaish terrorist who rammed an IED-laden vehicle into one of the trucks.
Jaish-e-Mohammed later released a video of the terrorist who attacked the convoy and claimed responsibility for the attack.
After his meeting with the US President, Imran Khan admitted that successive governments in Pakistan did not tell the truth to the US, in particular in the last 15 years.
Imran Khan said that there were 40 different militant groups operating in his country.
He also deflected a question on the latest arrest of Mumbai attack mastermind and Jamaat-ud Dawa chief Hafiz Saeed. Asked about Hafiz Saeed’s seventh arrest that came right ahead of his US visit, Imran Khan said “we do not allow any armed militant groups to operate” in our country.
The comments came after Imran Khan held a bilateral meeting with US President Donald Trump at the White House, in which the two leaders even broached the Kashmir topic.
Later Trump landed in a major controversy when he said that Imran Khan has asked him to mediate between India and Pakistan to resolve the Kashmir dispute and even Prime Minister Narendra Modi had also asked him the same.
It triggered a hue and cry in India yesterday as the Modi government immediately rejected Trump’s claims and said India has always maintained that Kashmir is a bilateral issue between India and Pakistan with no scope for third party intervention.
