Foreign secretary accuses Pakistan of attacking a Gurdwara in Poonch, killing three of Sikh community
Refuting the allegations levelled by Pakistan suggesting that India targeted religious places in the first phase of Operation Sindoor on the intervening night of 6-7 May, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri said that Pakistan launched a full-blown attack on the Sikh community by attacking a Gurdwara based in Poonch and killing three people from the community.
During a Ministry of External Affairs' (MEA) press briefing on Thursday, calling Pakistan a hub of global terrorism, Misri said that Pakistan's reputation as the epicentre of global terrorism is rooted in a number of instances.
"I don't need to remind where Osama Bin Laden was found and who called him a martyr. Pakistan is also home to a large number of UN proscribed terrorists and also to terrorists proscribed by many countries. You must have seen in the last few days, their Defence minister and former foreign minister accepted their country's involvement with such terror groups," he added.
