ISLAMABAD: The Foreign Office Friday said Indian involvement in acts of sabotage in Pakistan was no secret and the case of detained RAW agent Kulbhushan Yadav bore witness to this fact.
Speaking at the weekly press briefing here, Foreign Office spokesman Dr Faisal there were visible signs of Indian interference in Pakistan to foment unrest and put the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project off its track.
He said all states had legitimate right to peaceful use of nuclear technology and Pakistan was firmly committed to its policy of restraint in this connection and expected the same from others.
To a question about Indian Army Chief General Bipin Rawat?s statement about martyrdoms along the Line of Control (LoC), the spokesman said such statements reflected the Indian mindset, while Pakistan still believed in a peaceful neighborhood which must be reciprocated.
He said the armed forces of Pakistan were showing an exemplary restraint and were fully capable of responding to any form of aggression in a befitting manner.
To a question, he said the joint exercises by the naval forces of Saudi Arabia and Pakistan were a feature of regular cooperation between the two countries to benefit from each other?s expertise.
Answering a question about a bill introduced by the US House of Representatives to end non-defense aid to Pakistan, the spokesman said Pakistan was not averse to accepting US monetary assistance even though it had decided in principle not to seek further monetary assistance.
?We would like to place on record that the past US assistance has served the mutual interest of the two countries. This fact has been repeatedly acknowledged by the US officials,? Dr Faisal said.
?A similar bill was introduced in the US Senate a couple of weeks ago. According to our embassy in Washington, these bills are at preliminary stages and will be considered in the respective committees.
The sponsors of these bills have a particular mindset, as they oppose international assistance and advocate that the money should be spent inside the country for infrastructure development?, he said.
Meanwhile, when The News approached the spokesman about the details of the second two-day Afghanistan-Pakistan Action Plan for Peace and Solidarity (APAPPS) underway at the Foreign Office on Friday, the spokesman was reluctant to say anything.
Deputy Foreign Minister Hekmat Khalil Karzai is heading the Afghan delegation, while Foreign Secretary Tehmina Janjua is heading a combined civil and military delegation.Of importance in the Kabul meeting was that the Afghan government had agreed to Pakistan?s proposal of a joint investigation into the recent terrorist attacks in Kabul.
