ISLAMABAD: Responding to a statement of the Indian Defence Minister, Manohar Parrikar, Federal Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has said that sponsoring terrorism to counter terrorism confirms our assertions of Indian involvement in terrorist activities on Pakistani soil.The statement of the Indian defence minister is an open and blatant admission and declaration of sponsoring terrorism. In a statement issued here, Khawaja Asif said that the Indian defence minister specifically mentioned that regulation will not be used to quell terrorist activities, instead terrorism will be promoted. This is the worst kind of declaration by a state functionary of cabinet level which confirms that India is sponsoring terrorism against its neighbours in the name of preventing terrorist activities, he added.
