The Ministry of External Affairs on Thursday hit out at Pakistan , saying the individuals eliminated at Pakistani facilities were terrorists and giving state funerals to terrorists may be a practice in their country.

Foreign secretary Vikram Misri said, “As far as we are concerned, the individuals eliminated at these facilities were terrorists. Giving terrorists state funerals, maybe a practice in Pakistan.”

“It’s also odd that funerals of civilians are being carried out with coffins wrapped in their national flag, and state honours are being accorded. The individuals eliminated at these facilities were terrorists. Giving state funerals to terrorists may be a practice in Pakistan, but it doesn’t seem to make much sense to us… Yesterday, Pakistan launched a targeted attack on the Sikh community of J&K- hitting a gurdwara in Poonch and hitting the Sikh community members, who came under attack. Three individuals were killed in the attacks… A total of 16 civilians have been killed in Poonch and several others have been injured,” the foreign secretary said.

Misri further said, “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.”

Misri said, “Any further action by Pakistan, some of which we are seeing today, is nothing but escalation by Pakistan once again, and will be responded to and is being responded to appropriately.”
