Islamabad/New Delhi, Aug 18 - Referring to Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's remarks that terror groups based in Pakistan were plotting attacks against India, Islamabad Tuesday asked New Delhi to share information on the threats. On his part, the Indian envoy in Pakistan said proof of this had already been shared.
'If the (Indian) prime minister says something like this, we can't take it lightly,' Pakistan's Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi told reporters on the sidelines of an official function in Islamabad.
'If there is such information with (India), share it with the government of Pakistan so that we can pre-empt such an act,' he said.
'We have conveyed this to them and let's see what is their response,' he added.
India has already provided to Pakistan solid proof of possible terror attacks being staged on it from this country, Indian High Commissioner to Pakistan Sharat Sabharwal was quoted as saying.
'Terrorists living on Pakistani soil are posing a serious threat to India and
it is the responsibility of the Pakistani government to eliminate it', Online news agency quoted Sabharwal as saying.
The terrorists who executed the 26/11 Mumbai carnage belonged to Pakistan and proof of this had have been provided to Islamabad, which should take the necessary action in this regard, the envoy maintained.
India had suffered huge economic and financial losses due to Mumbai terror attacks, which had damaged its image, Sabharwal added.
According to the envoy, threats of infiltration into Indian territory from
Pakistani soil could not be ruled out.
