Pakistan condemns Indian media reports regarding Gurdawara attack in Kabul
April 07, 2020

Pakistan has categorically rejected the officially-inspired reports appearing in the Indian media seeking to link Pakistan with the terrorist attack on a Gurdawara in Kabul on 25th of last month terming this attempt as highly mischievous and condemnable.

In a statement today (Tuesday), Foreign Office Spokesperson Aisha Farooqui said Pakistan has already strongly condemned the dastardly terrorist attack on the Gurdawara, in which so many precious lives were lost.

She said places of worship are sacrosanct and their sanctity must be respected at all times and the perpetrators of this heinous crime must be brought to justice.

The Spokesperson said, as a country that has suffered the most from and has fought resolutely against the scourge of terrorism, including State-sponsored terrorism emanating from across the border, Pakistan firmly believes that such despicable terrorist acts have no political, religious or moral justification.

She said these reports are patently designed to malign Pakistan as India's overall smear campaign against Pakistan is well-known.

Aisha Farooqui said seeking to implicate Pakistan in this terrorist attack is part of the desperate attempts India is making to divert attention from its own unacceptable actions and state-terrorism in Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

The Spokesperson said Pakistan is confident that such Indian ploys will not succeed in misleading the world community.
