"Pakistan rejects the statement made by Defence Minister A K Antony in the Rajya Sabha accusing the Special Services Group of Pakistan Army of beheading two Indian soldiers on January 8, 2013," said a statement issued by the Pakistani Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Two suspected militants disguised as cricketers opened fire with automatic rifles on a paramilitary camp in Srinagar on Wednesday, killing five Indian personnel and wounding five, police said.
The foreign ministry also strongly rejected remarks made by Indian Home Secretary R K Singh that evidence suggests that the militants who attacked the members of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) were from probably from Pakistan.
"We feel that this trend of making irresponsible statements and knee-jerk reactions by senior Indian Government functionaries have the potential of undermining the efforts made by both sides to normalise relations between the two countries," the statement cautioned.
The ministry reiterated that Pakistan remains committed to resolving tensions with India through meaningful dialogue.

What is pakistan going to give India that will help India ? Pakistan is a global headache and thats a fact unfortunately. Im in no way supporting India's complaints but get real. Pakistan is not the party thats holding all the cards when it comes to Kashmir. Its India and India can do what it wants. Pakistan needs to ignore these politcal comments and get on with it and make sure Pakistan still exists 10 years from now and dont end up losing another part of the country like Bangladesh.
Pakistans only method of negotiation with almost all parties is help us otherwise we will send some nutjobs to cause violence in your country. Super offer isnt it.
@Mohammad Ali Siddiqui: And vice versa. Has Pak ever admitted the good work done by Ind ?
pakistan will see some tough action ahead,now italy issue is going on and then pakistan issue will be taken up.you just wait and watch what India is doing with Italy and can think of what India can do with pakistan.The thing is GOI has not done anything till now and is engaged in talks but its action can be severe for pakistan,you can make it out from italy's case in few days ahead.Diplomatic ties with any country is a serious blow to that country cuz the general assumption is afret diplomatic ties broken down no other space is left for negotiation after that if any thing happens then the action that will follow will be military retialiation.So pakistan should take India seriously now,if India can break diplomatic ties with Italy (if happens) then it can do the same with pakistan first time in 65 yrs.you can continue denying after that is your state policy

@Mohammad Ali Siddiqui: Yes we remember what Pakistan government did to us. We are greatful for 1962,1965,1971,1999. We suffered all those bomb attacks which bruised all over the country. We are fortunate to have 2001 whose mastermind was Afzal guru, 2009 whose parental advocacy was in Pakistan. We love you all because u always make us remember trust anyone in the world but not pakistani.
Well, almost all accusations turn out to be true isnt it?
We will some news of action on the LOC shortly.
@Dr X, India does not like independent investigations, does not want to negotiate anything related to Kashmir, does not want to listen to people of Kashmir...just want to blame..I have not seen anyone more petulant than this other than a toddler
Wanna be super power ... huh
Indians seriously need to stop with this blame game.This is getting annoying!! Why can't both parties settle for a independent UN probe?
We don't need to reject every dumb accusation put forth by India....they're best left ignored.
Any Act of Terrorism in any part of world is directly or Indirectly Linked with Pakistan.....
I don't know whether of TRIBune Publish my this comment or not... but think honestly..
Has ever India ever admitted any good work done by Government of Pakistan?
