A day after investigators released a video of the confession of a Pakistani terrorist caught from Kashmir, Pakistan denied that terrorists are crossing into India from across the border.
Referring to terrorist Bahadur Ali as an “alleged Pakistani, who was involved in some activity,” a spokesperson from Pakistan’s Foreign Affairs Office, said: “We reject claims of cross-border infiltration… Pakistan is very firm on this — we will not allow our soil for any terror-related act.”
“We have, on record, statements made by high-ranking officials, who said that our neighbour has been financing instability across the border,” he further added.
On Tuesday, India had summoned Pakistan’s high commissioner in Delhi to protest against the infiltration of terrorists from across the border.
A day later, investigators released the 8-minute video containing the confessions of 21-year-old Bahadur Ali, who was arrested from Jammu and Kashmir last month.
In the video, Bahadur Ali is heard saying that he was told by his handlers to “mingle with locals and create trouble” during a protest in the Kashmir after Hizbul Mujahideen terrorist Burhan Wani was killed.
Officers of the National Investigation Agency, who have been questioning him, said his revelations clearly points to Pakistan’s involvement in the ongoing unrest in Kashmir.
