Pak making efforts to obscure challenge posed by safe havens: India

NEW DELHI:
Reacting sharply to Pakistan’s allegation that it was carrying out attacks from Afghanistan soil, India today said it was well known who was “upstreaming terrorism” and Islamabad was making an effort to obscure the challenge the safe havens pose to the region.
“We all know, who is upstreaming terrorism and who endeavours to downstream terrorism. It is certainly not India. We all also know that the main threat to peace and security in Afghanistan comes from terrorism.
“Therefore, don’t be mislead by those who intend to obscure the challenge that safe havens pose to peace and security in the region,” Official Spokesperson in the External Affairs Ministry Syed Akbaruddin said.
He was asked about Pakistan Prime Minister’s Adviser on National Security and Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz’s remarks that India was “involved in the attacks on Pakistan from Afghanistan” (AGENCIES)
