New Delhi, July 07: India today rejected as "absolutely baseless" Pakistan Prime Minister Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali's charge that its consulates in Kandhahar and Herat in Afghanistan and Zaidan in Iran were behind Friday's attack on a mosque in Quetta. "India is firmly and strongly against terrorism anywhere and we do not believe it is justified by any cause," external affairs ministry spokesman said when asked about Jamali's allegation.
Asserting that India has no history of any such involvement, he said, "Any allegation that India is involved in the terrorist attack is absolutely baseless.”
Jamali after his return from riot-torn Quetta city yesterday said the mosque bombing could be a "fall out" of the new Indian consulates in Kandahar, Herat and also Zaidan.
