Pakistan on Tuesday rejected allegations from Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh that Pakistan was allowing terrorist groups to operate from its territory. "Pakistan is committed to fighting terrorism and also to the peace process with India," Foreign Office spokeswoman Tasnim Aslam said. | “We have not received any evidence whatsoever of any act of terrorism in India and it is not possible to offer any cooperation...” |
She said the peace process was meant to resolve disputes between the two countries that have caused conflict, tension and distress in the region, but added that it required sincerity and commitment from both sides. "To allow terrorists in the region to undermine this process will be very unfortunate," she said. Aslam said Pakistan had been cooperating with the international community in fighting terrorism and cited the foiling of the London aircraft bombing plot, which was prevented "through trust, cooperation and information sharing". "We cannot cooperate with any country that is making allegations and has a history of not cooperating with us," she said. "We have not received any evidence whatsoever of any act of terrorism in India and it is not possible to offer any cooperation." |
