India launched a hard-hitting attack on Pakistan on Sunday for accusing it of being involved in some of the terrorist strikes in that country and said the alleged evidence allegations were a figment of the imagination.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Anurag Srivastava said Pakistan’s “desperate attempt” would find few takers as the international community is aware of its tactics, and evidence of Islamabad’s terrorist sponsorship has been admitted by none other than its “own direction”.

India’s angry reaction came a day after Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi delivered a press conference alongside Army spokesman Major General Babar Iftikhar to claim that India was behind some of the terrorist attacks in that country.

“This is yet another futile anti-Indian propaganda exercise. The so-called ‘proof’ claims against India lack any credibility, are fabricated and are a figment of the imagination,” Srivastava said in response. to questions from the media about the allegations.

He described the press conference as a deliberate attempt by the Pakistani establishment to distract from its internal political and economic failures and justify cross-border terrorism, including ceasefire violations and l infiltration of the line of control in Jammu and Kashmir.

“The face of global terror, Osama bin Laden, has been found in Pakistan, the Pakistani Prime Minister glorified him as a” martyr “of the Parliament hall, he admitted the presence of 40,000 terrorists in Pakistan.

“Their Minister of Science and Technology proudly claimed the involvement and success of Pakistan, led by its Prime Minister, in the terrorist attack on Pulwama in which 40 Indian soldiers were martyred,” Srivastava said.

Remote parts of the world have seen the trail of terror return to Pakistan, he said, adding that fabricating documents and spreading false stories would not absolve Pakistan from such actions.

“We are convinced that the world will hold him to account,” he said.
