Pakistan has sought the involvement of China and Russia in the Kashmir terror attack investigation amidst increasing tensions with India, news agency PTI reported Sunday (April 27).
On Tuesday (April 22), terrorists opened fire in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, killing 26 people, mostly tourists. It was the deadliest attack since Pulwama in 2019. The Resistance Front (TRF), a proxy of the banned Pakistan-based group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), initially claimed responsibility for the attack but it walked back four days later, claiming one of its digital accounts may have been hacked by Indian authorities.
Pakistan urges China, Russia to play positive role
Pakistan Defence Minister Khawaja Asif, in a recent interview with a Russia-based news agency, said Beijing and Moscow could form an international team of investigators to find out the truth.
“I believe that Russia, China, or even Western countries could play a very positive role in this crisis. They could form an international investigation team to determine whether India or Modi is lying or telling the truth. Let an international team find out,” Asif told RIA Novosti news agency.
