Pakistan is likely to raise the issue of alleged Indian involvement by its spy agency, Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), in its territory in the United Nations.
Pakistan Prime Minister will raise the issue of alleged Indian involvement by its spy agency, Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), in its territory in the United Nations, said their National Security Advisor Sartaj Aziz. He made the remarks while responding to questions in the Pakistan National Assembly today.
Mr Aziz said, "The Prime Minister (Nawaz Sharif) will also raise the issue of RAW's involvement in Pakistan at the UN General Assembly." According to Mr Aziz, the alleged role of the Indian agency's activities has been taken up by Pakistan with various foreign leaders as well.
The issue of RAW's alleged activities were discussed between the two countries when the foreign secretary level talks were held in March this year. Mr Aziz said that India has always rejected the allegations that any involvement of its agencies in Pakistan's internal affairs.
Earlier, India's Home Minister, Rajnath Singh had said, that the terrorists who attacked Gurdaspur, in Punjab's worst attack in over a decade, came from Pakistan. Mr Singh has also warned of "a befitting reply".
Four policemen and three civilians were killed on Monday, less than 18 kilometres from Punjab's border with Pakistan, which has condemned the attack.
India claims that the GPS devices belonging to the terrorists found after they were shot dead at the end of a 12-hour long gunbattle established that they crossed into India through the River Ravi in Pakistan.
Despite the attack, sources in the Indian government say that there is no visible support of the Pakistan government in it, and have confirmed that the talks with Pakistan are unlikely to be disrupted for now.
This comes weeks after Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi held talks with his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif and agreed that top officials from both countries, led by their National Security Advisors, should resume dialogue after a lengthy stand-off.
