India behind terrorist attacks - Pak Foreign Minister

India rejects Pak allegation on Lahore attack

New Delhi: Strongly condemning the multiple bombings in Lahore, India on Saturday rejected Pakistani allegations of an Indian hand in the attack and stressed that such loose statements were putting a strain on bilateral ties.

Making it clear that India had no interest in destabilising Pakistan, New Delhi reminded Islamabad that it should concentrate "on dismantling the infrastructure of terrorism directed against India and adversely impacting on Pakistan itself".

"The government of India unequivocally condemns the series of bomb blasts in Lahore which claimed the lives of scores of people, including innocent civilians, and injured many more, among them women and children," the External Affairs ministry said in a statement here.

"Our condolences go out to the families of those killed by these acts of terrorism," the ministry said.

The twin suicide bombings on Friday targeting an army convoy killed at least 57 people in Lahore and came barely four days after a terror attack at an intelligence service facility in the city.

Khusro Pervez, the Lahore city commissioner, told Dawn television that India was behind the bombings, although he did not offer any evidence.

The External Affairs Ministry also conveyed deep disappointment over statements emanating from Pakistan alleging an Indian hand in Friday's attacks in Lahore, and other terrorist acts and disturbances elsewhere in Pakistan.

"We categorically reject, once again, the allegations of India's involvement in such acts or activities," the ministry said.

"Government has reiterated on several occasions, and at the highest level, that India has no interest in destabilizing Pakistan," it stressed.

Meanwhile, Pakistan's Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi has said that Pakistan wants to establish friendly relations with all its neighbours, including India. He however insisted that for that to happen, New Delhi needed to change its policies towards Islamabad.

Problems between countries cannot be properly solved without talks but at the same time, "words alone cannot yield any fruit", Qureshi said

"If talks remain only at the level of words, we will attain no results," he said.

Qureshi said establishing "one-sided relations" by Pakistan will not lead to unity and solidarity and called on the Indian government to "change its policies" towards Islamabad.

Well, this is what states do normally. This doesn't disprove indian involvement (or prove it but that's irrelevant).

The official response varied from one Punjab government functionary to another. Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif said the blast was unfortunate given the security in place.

The Punjab law minister disagreed with the assertion that it was a security lapse and did not rule out the involvement of foreign hand.

But Lahore Commissioner Khusro Pervaiz was categorical in saying that India was behind the terror.

Notice that the more an official is directly related to security and the more likely his @$$ is on fire, the more he suggests Indian involvement. Nothing about facts. Just a passing observation. Dawn IS a good newspaper. Nicely reported how people are trying to get away from their responsibility.

if india did that pakistan should create the world opinion and convince the world about and force india into submission as done by india to pakistan despite the popular belief of amar singh.
As otherwise they are just empty doldrums aimed to get political mileage to mis guide its own public

@rubyjackass

^^ Yup, it's a good newspaper since it suits your opinions and beliefs. I can say that much with confidence. One is saying India is involved, other is saying foreign hand cannot be ruled out. Not much to go on. Dawn is a liberal newspaper anyway so it's expected to say these sorts of things.

The two cannot be compared. The consequences of indian involvement becoming public is not in the interests of US. Why? Because US will lose almost all it's leverage over Pakistan, india certainly will lose all, the whole dynamics of WoT will change. On the other hand, Mumbai attacks and the aftermath was in the interests of US. So let's not make everything black and white since everything is not as black and white as you're making it to be.

So basically US and NATO have to say that india was not involved (and that's what states/groups do - they do whats in their interests), and regardless of whether india was involved or not, everyone believes them since they said it so it must be true.

I SAID I was not concerned about facts. That was about the opinions of the officials. The journalist did a good job of meeting all people who are responsible for security of Lahore at different levels. Is it not reasonable to expect that people will question them about their failures, even if the perpetrator is assumed to be India?

Well here's the thing. The terrorists didn't attack what they wanted to attack. It's unfortunate that those who ended up getting attacked are civilians for the most part. Now as to question the failure of security, yes rightly so, but it really doesn't change who was been involved nor does it make it better for those who was been invovled. It's basically an attempt to deflate one side of the story and inflate the other.

 

[HAWK73]

Okay, how these terrorist getting support to make enough effort to do a Terror Attack?

How they do that?

Of Course, there are someone who support them in $$$,£££,€€€ or in any other way.

But when my dear Indian fellows says that Pakistan was involved into Mumbai Attack then, I just wonder that WHAT THE FUK was wrong with Pakistani Security Coast Gurad, Pakistani Navy and OF COURSE Indian Coast Gurad & Indian Navy that they let ènter 10 young boys into Mumbai, India as they going for Picnic Party or watching Pakistan & India cricket match

Even they got so much weapons that they carry.

Pakistan was already in huge trouble in that time when this attack happened.

Anyway, I understand that you Indians friends have full rights to defend their country as well as me.

You dont want american dollars
You have american life line in your hands in afghanistan
You are a nuclear power state
You dont fear us.

Then why the hell are you acting like minion of united states. If some one is harming your country then why are you giving arguments like uncle sam dont want it so we dont do it

No one sir apart from pakistan believes that but tings cannot be said other way around.

 

[rubyjackass]

Is it not good to inflate the part about responsibility? May be your argument is based on past record of DAWN. Its just that I have never seen a public opinion forcing administrative changes in Pakistan after such attacks or mishaps. I haven't seen many resignations(In fact the only ones are those of the hockey players).

 

[HAWK73]

Its Pakistan's call to claim what ever it wants to but unless there is something credible backing that, its just hollow claims. In absence of anything substantial, Pakistan can just make announcements like India does after every attack on Indian soil. IMHO though, the source of your problem is not across the border but is in your NWFP region only. Stay the course.. Get rid of all Talibans and you are good for now. Till the time the Punjabi terror outfits like LeT etc become strong enough to do another TTP on Pakistan. But thats way out in future and who knows what happens by then

Have you forgotton Pak Army action against Taliban in Swat, Mangora, Bonir, Wazirestan etc . . . ?

20 lakh people were refugee in own country. All that people suffered while they have to move from Swat and some other different parts of that area. Just because of Pak Army`s opration.

Pakistan Amy done a great job there. Its another fact that India DO NOT want to appricate or accept this kind of effort of Pak Army.

After all, Government of India`s major mission is as usuall to keep blame Pakistan all the time dosen`t matter how much effort Pakistan did against WAR ON TERROR etc . . . . .

India condemns Lahore attacks: Foreign ministry

NEW DELHI: India on Saturday condemned the bomb blasts in Lahore which claimed at least 57 lives as “acts of terrorism.”

“The government unequivocally condemns the series of bomb blasts in Lahore which claimed the lives of scores of people, including innocent civilians, and injured many more, among them women and children,” the foreign ministry said.

“Our condolences go out to the families of those killed by these acts of terrorism,” the ministry said in a statement a day after the blasts.

The suicide attackers walked up to army vehicles in Lahore’s R A Bazaar area and blew themselves up as people sat down to eat before the main Muslim weekly prayers were to begin on Friday.

Hours later, five small bombs exploded elsewhere in Lahore but caused no casualties.

India has blamed Pakistan-based militants for the November 2008 carnage in Mumbai which left 166 people dead and more than 300 others wounded.
