A day after United States Military General Michael Kurilla called Pakistan a “phenomenal partner” in counter-terrorism, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) criticised Islamabad for its continued support to terrorism, calling the terror attack in Pahalgam “the recent example of cross-border terrorism”.In response to a question on Central Command Chief General Kurilla’s comments at the Congressional hearing a day earlier, during the weekly media briefing, MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal recalled how one of the conspirators of 26/11 Mumbai terror attack, Tahawwur Rana, was recently extradited from the US to India and also mentioned how Osama bin Laden was given shelter in Pakistan.“The record of Pakistan, of what Pakistan actually is, is very clear, we all know Pahalgam’s attack is only a recent example of cross-border terrorism. Only recently, the conspirator, one of the conspirators of 26/11, Tahawwur Rana, was extradited from the US to India. Obviously, none of us has forgotten that Pakistan gave shelter to Osama bin Laden …You would be aware that Dr Shakil Afridi, who helped locate Osama bin Laden, is still imprisoned by the Pakistani military,” the MEA spokesperson said.Divya A reports on travel, tourism, culture and social issues - not necessarily in that order - for The Indian Express.
