According to a statement issued by the External Affairs Ministry, Basit was reminded that the Pakistan government “had made a solemn commitment in January 2004 to not allow its soil or territory under its control to be used for terrorism against India”.
Foreign Secretary S. Jaishankar on Wednesday summoned Pakistani High Commissioner Abdul Basit here following Sunday’s attack on an army base at Uri in Jammu and Kashmir in which 18 Indian soldiers were killed.
According to a statement issued by the External Affairs Ministry, Basit was reminded that the Pakistan government “had made a solemn commitment in January 2004 to not allow its soil or territory under its control to be used for terrorism against India”.
“The persistent and growing violation of this undertaking is a matter of very serious concern,” the statement said.
“The latest terrorist attack in Uri only underlines that the infrastructure of terrorism in Pakistan remains active. We demand that Pakistan lives up to its public commitment to refrain from supporting and sponsoring terrorism against India.”
