Pak dispels general impression about its isolation; claims India's bid backfired
Pak Foreign Secretary Aizaz Ahmed Chaudhry

Islamabad, Oct 21 (UNI) In a bid to dispel general impression about Pakistan's isolation over the issue of cross border terrorism, Foreign Secretary Aizaz Ahmed Chaudhry has claimed that India’s attempts to isolate Islamabad have backfired. “India wants to use the United Nations platform to defame Pakistan…[but] its efforts to isolate Pakistan have backfired,” The Express Tribune quoted Mr Chaudhry as saying before a Senate panel yesterday. “In fact, New Delhi itself stands isolated because of its policies”, he retorted. According to the newspaper report the foreign secretary further told the panel that the issue of Masood Azhar, chief of the banned Jaish-e-Mohammad(JeM), will be tackled according to the National Action Plan. He said that tackling the issue was not as simple and added that India is trying to get his name on the list of UN designated terrorists. Meanwhile, the chairman of the Senate Standing Committee on Defence Mushahid Hussain Syed, had told reporters that India is deploying additional troops along the Line of Control (LoC) and aircraft to the forward bases, the newspaper reported. After the joint meeting of Senate committees on defence and foreign affairs on Indo-Pak tension, Mushahid revealed that India had deployed its premier Su-30 fighter jets to the forward bases. The newspaper also quoted the senator as saying that Pakistani armed forces were fully capable to respond to any challenge from India. Mushahid also denounced India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi for calling Pakistan the ‘mothership of terrorism’ during the recent Brics summit. UNI XC SS
