Pakistan questions India's 'security lapses' after Kashmir attack
|
 [Al Jazeera] Pakistain has hit back at the allegations by India that it is harbouring fighters from the gang that grabbed credit for the last week's deadly attack on a paramilitary convoy in Indian-administered Kashmire.
Thursday's car kaboom, which killed 42 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel, was claimed by the Pakistain-based Jaish-e-Mohammad
...literally Army of Mohammad , a Pak-based Deobandi terror group founded by Maulana Masood Azhar in 2000, after he split with the Harkat-ul-Mujaheddin. In 2002 the government of Pervez Musharraf banned the group, which changed its name to Khaddam ul-Islam and continued doing what it had been doing before without missing a beat...
(JeM).
Following the blast, New Delhi called for "the complete isolation of Pakistain" with Prime Minister Narendra Modi promising a "strong response".
"If our neighbour thinks it can destabilise India, then it is making a big mistake," Modi said on Friday.
On Sunday, Islamabad rejected New Delhi's accusations, saying they were "knee-jerk" and made without any thorough investigation.
"India needs to introspect and respond to questions about its security and intelligence lapses that led to this attack," Pakistain's foreign ministry said in a statement.
"Bluster, belligerence and pursuit of expedient standards to suit internal political interests is both delusional and counterproductive.
"India must come out of the denial mode, end state repression against Kashmiri youth, address widespread alienation in IOK and pursue the path of dialogue," the statement added.
The bombing ratcheted up the tension between the two South Asian neighbours, which rule parts of Moslem-majority Kashmire while claiming the entire territory as their own. India has, for years, accused Pakistain of backing separatist groups in divided Kashmire.
Pakistain insists that it only offers political support to Kashmire's suppressed population.
Formed in 2000, the JeM (or Army of Muhammad) is a Pakistain-based gang that aims to undermine and overthrow Indian control over Kashmire through attacks on security and government targets.
