Pakistan behaving like spokesperson of JeM, took no action against terror groups despite claims: India
The MEA Also Claimed That India Has Electronic Evidence That A Pakistani F-16 Fighter Jet Was Destroyed By IAF Pilot Wing Commander Abhinandan.
Pakistan is behaving like a spokesperson of terrorist group Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and despite big claims, took no action against terror outfits operating from its soil, External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said in a weekly press briefing on Saturday. Kumar said that it was regrettable that Pakistan continues to remain in a state of denial even after JeM claim taking ownership of Pulwama attack.
“It is regrettable that Pakistan still continues to deny Jaish-e-Mohammed's own claim of taking ownership of Pulwama attack. Pak Foreign Minister said that they (JeM) have not claimed responsibility of the attack, there is some confusion - Is Pakistan defending the JeM?†the Kumar asked.
Referring to Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan’s slogan of ‘Naya Pakistan’ (New Pakistan), the MEA spokesperson said that if Pakistan really want to be a new country with new thinking, it needs to show “new action†against terror groups and cross border terrorism.
“If Pakistan claims to be a 'Naya Pakistan' with 'nayi soch' then it should show 'naya action' against terrorist groups and cross border terrorism,†he said.
The MEA spokesperson claimed that India has electronic evidence that a Pakistani F-16 fighter jet was destroyed by Indian Air Force pilot Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman and said that they have asked the US to examine whether the use F-16 against India was in accordance with terms and conditions of the sale.
“There are eyewitness accounts and electronic evidence that Pakistan deployed F-16 aircraft and that one F-16 was shot down by Wing Commander Abhinandan. We have asked USA to also examine whether the use of F-16 against India is in accordance with terms and conditions of sale,†he said.
He also denied Pakistani claims that they destroyed two Indian jets. “If as Pakistan claims it has a video recording of the downing of a second Indian aircraft then why have they not shared the video with international media?†Kumar asked.
