Pulwama: Imran seeks evidence, warns against retaliatory action

TIL Desk/World/Islamabad/ Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Tuesday assured India that he would act against the perpetrators of the deadly Pulwama terror attack if it shares ‘actionable intelligence’ with Islamabad, but warned New Delhi against launching any ‘revenge’ retaliatory action.

In a video message to the nation, five days after the Pulwama terror attack, Khan responded to the India’s allegations on Pakistan’s involvement in the suicide strike carried out by Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) terror group that left 41 Central Reserve Police Force personnel dead.

Khan, a cricketer-turned-politician, said that he understood it was India’s election year and the narrative of blaming Pakistan would make it easier to get votes from the masses. He hoped that better sense will prevail and that India would be open to dialogue with Pakistan. India has firmly told Pakistan that dialogue and terrorism cannot go hand in hand.
