Pak handed no dossier to India: Govt sources

New Delhi: In a new revelation, Government sources have told CNN-IBN, the reports coming in Pakistani media detailing Indian involvement in Balochistan is a total fabrication designed to spread disinformation.

The sources say accusations of the involvement of Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) in terrorist activities in Pakistan - including the attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team in Lahore and on a police academy on the outskirts of the city earlier this year - is absurd.

Government sources have also confirmed that Pakistan never handed any dossier to India.

On Wednesday, Dawn newspaper had published a report claiming that when Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in Sharm el-Sheikh, a dossier was handed over to India detailing the involvement of RAW in Balochistan and hinting at a RAW hand in the attack on Sri Lankan cricketers in March, 2009.

Speaking to CNN-IBN a senior Government official said, "This report is totally fabricated. No dossier was handed over to India by the Pakistan side, except the one detailing the steps taken on the 26/11 terror attacks. There is no question of any Indian involvement in Pakistan."

Meanwhile, Minister of State for External Affairs, Shashi Tharoor denied seeig any dossier from Pakistan.

"I have not seen the dossier myself. If there is a dossier I'm sure the competent colleagues are looking at it. We don't conduct our relations with our neighbours as a zero sum game. We have made it clear we want to see a stable prosperous Pakistan. We have no interest in any way in destabilising Pakistan. Destabilising neighbours is somebody else's policy, not ours," he said.

However, Dawn news Correspondent Baqir Sajjad Syed said his sources in Islamabad have told him that Pakistan will share the proof with India at an appropriate time.

"This is a very important matter that has come up in Pakistan. Where were reports of Indian involvement in Pakistan, but Pakistan believes in engaging India in dailouge so they haven't come out n spoken to the media about accusations. But they have been pressing on India to come and negotiate. Whenever Pakistan was asked about proof of this allegation, they always said that they are working on it and that they will share it at an appropriate time ," he said.

Meanwhile, Dawn newspaper had reported on Wednesday that the dossier had a description of Indian arms and explosives used in the attack on the Sri Lankan team.

Besides this, the names and particulars of the perpetrators who illegally entered Pakistan from India and joined their accomplices - who had reached Lahore from Waziristan - have been mentioned.

The dossier is also said to contain a list of the safe houses being run by RAW in Afghanistan where terrorists are trained and sent out for missions in Pakistan.
