New Delhi , Jan. 10 (ANI): Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde on Thursday on Thursday said Lashkar-e-Taiba founder Hafiz Saeed had visited the border areas in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) a few days before the attack on Indian jawans by Pakistani troops.
“It has been our information just four-five days back that in PoK area Hafiz Saeed had entered and he had talks with some people,” he told the media here.
Shinde further ruled out putting the new relaxed visa regime between the two Asian neighbours on hold.
“We are not rethinking. Whatever has entered into an agreement, it will be carried,” he said.
Pakistan ‘s High Commissioner to India Salman Bashir had earlier on Wednesday denied a Pakistan Army attack on Indian soldiers in the Mendhar sector in Poonch district on Tuesday.
“I would like to address some of the concerns, which are expressed here in the Indian media since yesterday regarding what is called the Mendhar incident. First of all, I would like to
say that Pakistan remains firmly committed to respecting the ceasefire on the Line of Control (LoC) in Kashmir . It is important, I believe both governments agree, that the ceasefire, which is an important confidence building measure, must be respected by both sides,” Bashir told ANI.
The Pakistani envoy, who was summoned to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) yesterday, further said that the Director Generals of Military Operations have been in contact with each other over the Mendhar incident.
