Indian government on Friday has blamed Pakistan for Pulwama attack and threatened to isolate it at international level
MUMBAI (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News / NNI - 15th February, 2019) Indian government on Friday has blamed Pakistan for Pulwama attack and threatened to isolate it at international level. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said those behind the terror attack would pay a "very heavy price" and had made a "huge mistake".Union Minister Arun Jaitley said they will take all possible diplomatic steps to ensure "complete isolation" of Pakistan and has withdrawn Most Favoured Nation status to the country.On the other hand, Indian forces have launched search operation in the valley after the blast.Earlier, at least 44 Indian paramilitary soldiers were killed on Thursday in Indian-occupied Kashmir in one the deadliest attacks.
The attack saw explosives packed inside a van rip through buses in a convoy of 78 vehicles carrying some 2,500 members of the paramilitary Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF).Two blue buses carrying around 35 people each bore the brunt of the massive blast, heard miles away, around 20 kilometres (12 miles) from the city of Srinagar on the main highway to Jammu.
Kashmir has been divided between India and Pakistan since independence.
Rebels have been fighting for an independent Kashmir, or a merger with Pakistan, for 30 years.Last year was the deadliest in a decade, with rights monitors saying almost 600 Kashmiri people died, most of them civilians.
Thousands more have been maimed in recent years by pellet-firing shotguns used by Indian forces.Pakistan on Friday strongly rejected insinuation by elements in the Indian government and media circles that seek to link the attack to the State of Pakistan without investigations."The attack in Pulwama in the Indian Occupied Jammu & Kashmir is a matter of grave concern," the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated in a press release.
"We have always condemned heightened acts of violence in the Valley."On the other hand, Indian Foreign Secretary Vijay Gokhale today summoned Pakistani High Commissioner Sohail Mahmood lodge diplomatic protest over the incident. NNI
