NEW DELHI: Pakistan on Wednesday extended condolences while simultaneously distancing itself from the brutal terror attack near Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir, a day after 28 tourists were killed in the violence.
The country’s foreign office expressed concern and offered sympathies, but its defence minister dismissed any link to Islamabad, calling the incident a result of “home-grown” discontent within India.
“We are concerned at the loss of tourists’ lives in an attack in Anantnag district. We extend our condolences to the near ones of the deceased and wish the injured a speedy recovery,” said a statement from the Pakistan Foreign Office in response to media queries.
