Minister of state for external affairs Omar Abdullah on Monday debunked Pakistan's offer of a joint probe into Thursday's attack on Parliament House saying Islamabad had already shown its lack of "seriousness" by blaming Indian intelligence agencies for the attack.
One really feels surprised. First Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf is quick enough to condemn the audacious attack and the very next day Pakistan blames us for the same," Abdullah said in New Delhi.
He said Musharraf had the habit of eating his own words like militant outfits operating from Pakistani soil.
"Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) was quick enough to own the responsibility for the October 1 attack on Jammu and Kashmir state assembly which was later withdrawn following pressures from ISI," Abdullah said and wondered "whether Musharraf is also governed by ISI."
Abdullah said, "Now after the clinching evidence in the ghastly attack on Parliament proving Pakistani involvement, the incident was enough of an "eye opener" for the world about Islamabad's nefarious designs to keep the south Asian region "unstable".
