India on Tuesday summoned Pakistan’s acting High Commisioner and made a demarche on cross border infiltration. The Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement that acting HC Haider Shah was called in and a strong protest was lodged at the cross border infiltration of a group of Pakistan nationals belonging to Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorist organisation in the intervening night of August 16-17 who carried out a brutal terror attack in District Police lines, Pulwama in Jammu & Kashmir on August 26 resulting in the death of eight Indian security personnel.
“Pakistan side was asked to investigate the infiltration and take action to bring to justice the individuals and entities responsible for orchestrating the attack. It was stated that DNA samples of the neutralised terrorists have been preserved and could be made available for investigations in Pakistan,” MEA said.
It added that Pakistan was called upon to abide by its commitment not to allow its territory or territories under its control to be used for terrorism in any manner and take credible and effective action against the terrorist entities operating from its soil and to prevent cross border infiltration.
