World must take notice of Indian double standards: FMBy Mariana BaabarISLAMABAD: Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi Thursday sent out a strong message to world capitals over Indian courts acquitting main accused in the horrific Samjhauta Express terrorist attack, and said that it was time for the world to take notice of Indian double standards.Amongst others, 44 Pakistanis lost their lives in the terrorist attack on a train in India 11 years ago."Yesterday, the decision given by the Indian National Investigation Court on the Samjhauta Express terrorist attack has shocked people. The four principal accused, after 11 years, have been acquitted of all charges. Swami Aseemanand, one of the accused who is a member of RSS, has publicly confessed to the crime and yet, he has been acquitted. I don't want to be unnecessarily critical, but it is evident how India accuses Pakistan without any investigation, as seen in the Pulwama terror attack which Pakistan condemned without delay," Qureshi said while talking to media. The world needs to take notice of this Indian duplicity of the National Investigation Agency Court of India and added it was indeed perplexing as the main accused Swami Aseemanand had publicly confessed to his involvement in this incident. "Pakistan strongly protested on this development and gave a demarche to India. We are disappointed. The world needs to take notice of duplicity of India," he added.Turning to Indian accusations where Pulwama was being linked to Pakistan, the minister said his has not been accepted by the international community and this was the message he received while speaking to members of the international community. Terrorism, he said, had no religion. "Terrorism is a prevalent mindset and anyone can achieve their vested objectives through it," he said.It was China, the foreign minister said, which had played a key role in defusing the situation between Pakistan and India post Pulwama. He said Pakistan is aware of the demands being made from the international community, but it is important for Pakistan to focus on its own national interests.He said Pakistan is tackling the banned outfits. Qureshi was also critical of India’s condemnation of the Christchurch shootings as it did not mention Muslims or mosques. Qureshi lamented New Delhi’s double standards and underplaying of any incident against Muslims. "I was astonished that the world condemned the Christchurch terrorist attacks. It was also condemned by India but did not mention the mosque or Muslims. Muslims are martyred and two mosques attacked but there is no mention of this. Why?" Qureshi asked. "You (India) want a seat in the OIC because you have millions of Muslims. But why are you left speechless in mentioning Muslims or mosques? This is their double standards. If there is an incident against Muslims it is underplayed," he said. Qureshi said Prime Minister Imran Khan will attend an important meeting in Beijing next Monday.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/com/cwEr/~4/0HFrsXZpT10
