Pak demand India’s apology over sujeet singh issue
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s interior Minister Rehman Malik demanded india’s apology for sending Surjeet Singh to spy in Pakistan.
Addressing a press conference in London, Malik made this demand, the Pakistani media reported. Singh was freed last week after serving a life term in a Pakistani jail following his conviction for espionage in 1985.
Though Singh was given the death sentence, it was commuted by the Pakistani President in 1989. He was imprisoned for nearly three decades.
During the news conference, Malik also rejected the assertion by Indian officials, including home minister P Chidambaram, that terrorist handlers had set up a control room in Karachi for the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
He contended that three Indian citizens, including Ansari alias Abu Jundal, were involved in the attacks.
Claiming that foreign intelligence agencies were involved in violence in Karachi to sabotage the peace in Pakistan’s financial hub, Malik said: “India should tell how many extremists they have sent to Pakistan”.
