India has accused Pakistan of "fabricating evidence" and rejected as "unfounded" charges of fomenting insurgency in its neighbor's southwestern Balochistan province. It also has ruled out talks with the Islamic country till the latter takes credible steps to bring the perpetrators of last November terror attacks in Mumbai to justice.
Foreign Minister S M Krishna told the Rajya Sabha (Upper House of Parliament) Thursday that statements of the Pakistani Foreign Minister made it evident that Islamabad was fabricating evidence (of India's alleged role in Balochistan).
"Not even a shred of evidence has been received so far," he said.
Noting that the government saw reports attributed to Pakistan's Prime Minister, Foreign Minister and Interior Minister alleging Indian interference in Balochistan, Krishna said the government firmly rejected such reports as being unfounded.
He recalled Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's recent remarks in Washington about India posing no threat to Pakistan. He pointed out Singh had said India believed in a stable and prosperous Pakistan living in peace with its neighbors. The Prime Minister said India had no interest in de-stabilizing Pakistan, he added.
Krishna's comments came the same day when Pakistan again alleged that substantial evidence was available with it of India's hand in Balochistan, and this would be presented at the appropriate time.
"India is involved in Balochistan and we have (adequate) proof but will disclose this when the time comes," Pakistani Foreign Office spokesperson Abdul Basit was quoted as having said.
Pakistan would decide when, where and how to make the evidence public, he added.
Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said August 7 that evidence of India's involvement in Balochistan would be disclosed through diplomatic channels at the right time. November 22, he said evidence of India's involvement was being compiled.
