Qureshi said Afghan and Indian operatives were behind Dasu incident
Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi’s most recent comments on the incident at Dasu hydel power project is “absurd”, India said on Friday. The comments from the Official Spokesperson of the Ministry of External Affairs came in response to Mr. Qureshi’s allegation that the incident, in which nine Chinese citizens were among the casualties, was carried out by Afghan and Indian intelligence operatives. “We have seen reports on the absurd comments made by Foreign Minister of Pakistan on the incident in Dasu. This is yet another attempt by Pakistan to malign India, in a bid to deflect international attention from its role as the epicentre of regional instability and a safe haven for proscribed terrorists,” said Arindam Bagchi.More Related News
