Federal Interior Minister Syed Mohsin Naqvi on said that Pakistan has offered India assistance in conducting a transparent investigation into the Pahalgam attack, proposing the formation of an international committee comprising global experts to investigate both the Pahalgam and Jaffarabad incidents.
Addressing a press conference in Islamabad, Mohsin Naqvi stated that the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) and India’s Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) are effectively the same entity, adding that evidence of India’s involvement in acts of terrorism in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa exists and Pakistan is ready to present these proofs before an impartial investigative committee.
He said that Pakistan’s economic stability is intolerable for India, stressing that the international community must take note of how a country claiming to be the world’s largest democracy is pursuing its objectives under the guise of counterterrorism operations.
Mohsin Naqvi asserted that the world must recognize who the real perpetrators of terrorism are and understand the methods through which they seek to achieve their goals. He categorically clarified that Pakistan has no direct or indirect involvement in any acts of terrorism.
Reaffirming Pakistan’s principled stance on Kashmir, the interior minister said that the country remains steadfast in demanding the resolution of the disputed issue in accordance with United Nations resolutions. He emphasized that the ongoing freedom movement in Kashmir is an indigenous struggle of the local people.
Mohsin Naqvi also revealed that security forces successfully thwarted 160 improvised explosive device (IED) attacks within three days, highlighting that India has never condemned the terrorist incidents taking place inside Pakistan.
The interior minister reiterated that Pakistan has formally offered India assistance in investigating the Pahalgam attack, adding that Pakistan is determined to expose the reality behind the incident to the international community.
Commenting on the Pahalgam attack, he noted the unusual circumstances surrounding the registration of the First Information Report (FIR) within ten minutes of the incident, questioning how the crime scene was not secured for several hours as standard procedures typically require.
