Pak PM admits terrorists using Pak to attack India |
Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan said on Tuesday that about "30,000 to 40,000" terrorists were in his country, an admission that reinforces India`s assertion about terror attacks by groups operating from Pakistani soil. At an event in the US, Imran Khan said "Until we came into power, the previous governments did not have the political will, because when you talk about militant groups, we still have about 30,000-40,000 armed people who have been trained and fought in some part of Afghanistan or Kashmir." Addressing the gathering at the US Institute of Peace, Pakistan PM said, "In 2014, the Pakistani Taliban slaughtered 150 schoolchildren at Army Public School. All the political parties signed the National Action Plan and we all decided after that, that we will not allow any militant groups to operate inside Pakistan." Sources in the government in New Delhi said it is important for the Pakistani leadership to act on this knowledge by "destroying the breeding ground of terrorists". India`s position on Pulwama has been clear, as Jaish-e-Mohammed claimed responsibility for the attack. It is well-known that Jaish-e-Mohammed and its leader Masood Azhar are based in Pakistan and is sufficient proof for Pakistan to take action.
