| Foreign ministry spokesman Nirapuma Rao said Pakistani embassy staffer Mohammad Sharif Khan was being thrown out of the country for "engaging in activities beyond his legitimate sphere of activity." A Pakistani foreign office statment said, "These absurd Indian allegations represent yet another desperate attempt to implicate Pakistan in the December 13 terrorist attack on Parliament." It decribed the allegations as "baseless and concocted." Pakland claims Sharif Khan was illegally kidnaped and tortured. |
