Nobody can browbeat Pak for Pulwama attack: Qureshi

Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi on Saturday said nobody can browbeat the country for the Pulwama attack even as he offered to fully cooperate in any probe into the incident if India shares any evidence with it. 

Jaish-e-Muhammed (JeM) has claimed responsibility for the attack on the convoy of 78 vehicles that was on its way from Jammu to Srinagar.

   

Qureshi, in a recorded a video message from Germany where he is attending the Munich Security Conference, claimed that India, without investigation, in a knee-jerk reaction, blamed Pakistan for the attack.

“It is easy to blame Pakistan but it will not solve the problem and the world will not be convinced,” he said in the message which was released by the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) on its official Twitter account. 

He said nobody can browbeat Pakistan by blaming it for he attack. “We know how to defend ourselves. We can also present out point of view across the world. Our message is peace and not conflict,” Qureshi said.

“If India has any evidence (about involvement of elements in Pakistan in the Pulwama attack), it should share with us. We will investigate with full honesty and see if it was right. And I say with full confidence that we will cooperate. Because we do not want disturbance,” he said.

Condemning the incident, the foreign minister said, “Violence neither was, nor is our policy.”
