Pakistan is trying to mainstream terror organizations and questioned about the
seriousness in Islamabad’s statement on talks between the two sides.
Replying to a media query in New Delhi on reported comments
made by the Pakistan Prime Minister that India has refused offer of talks,
External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Raveesh Kumar on Friday questioned that
if Pakistan is ready for talks then why it has not taken any action against the
perpetrators of Mumbai and Pathankot terror attacks till now.
The spokesperson asked Pakistan why it is still allowing
their territory to be used by terror groups, terrorist organizations and
terrorists, which are still ongoing if it is serious about talks.
Mr Kumar said, explicit support which was being provided to
banned organizations is still ongoing and there is no change in that. He said,
Pakistan is trying to mainstream terror organisations.
On Imran Khan’s statement on treatment of minorities in
India, Mr Kumar said, Pakistan should be the last country in the world to
lecture India on the topic of plurality and inclusive society. He said,
everyone is fully aware how the minorities are being treated in India.
