Reddy's statement on Hyderabad blasts is 'conjecture': Pak
Islamabad, Aug. 28 (PTI): Pakistan has termed as "conjecture" the statement of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Rajashekhara Reddy that terrorists based in that country could be behind the recent Hyderabad blasts.
Islamabad condemned the twin-blasts as also those who "commit or sponsor" such terror acts.
"I have not seen any Indian official statement. These statements are attributed to some Chief Minister... I do not want to comment on conjectures," Pakistan Foreign Office spokesperson Tasnim Aslam told reporters here yesterday when referred to Reddy's remarks.
The Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister had said that terrorists based in Pakistan and Bangladesh were suspected to be behind the Saturday's blasts that claimed lives of over 40 people and injured several others.
"These are terrorist attacks and we condemn them. We are ourselves victim of terrorism and remain committed to fight terrorism," Aslam said, adding "it is always better to investigate rather than to speculate."
Her comments came amidst suspicion among intelligence agencies in India that Pakistan-based Lashker-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad terror groups could be responsible for the blasts.
