A release from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Friday read that Pakistan “noted with deep concern, media reports on the unfortunate incident in Jammu on 26 September 2013”.
The statement went on to add that “the timing of this attack is particularly disturbing as it takes place a couple of days before the leaders of Pakistan and India are to meet in a bid to move towards improvement of relations.”
“It is imperative that any such act of violence should not be allowed to deter us from pursuing a path to a better future for our peoples,” it hoped.
Noting that Pakistan was itself a foremost victim of terrorism, and condemned “all forms of terrorism.”
“Pakistan remains committed to eliminate the specter of terrorist violence from our society and our region and has on numerous occasions offered cooperation to India in fighting this menace through laid down bilateral mechanisms.”
In the end the statement said Pakistan was ready to discuss all outstanding disputes in a meaningful manner.

Don't irritate innocent Pakistanis , they don't even know T of Terrorism !!! It's the right time for India to supply arms and ammunition to terrorists in Pakistan . We won't get such a good time than this .
I wish this were true from our actions to even attempt some sort of accountability. Sometimes even our words are lacking, conditional or weasely. We are victims who choose not to identify our killers or fight them. A good number of citizens, including leaders in civil and military institutions, do still excuse or justify certain 'militancies' and militants, particularly those related to Kashmir and Afghanistan.
So innocent people.............
The foreign ministry of Pakistan should stop shedding crocodile tears and stop cross border terrorism which would bring in peace in both countries and end terrorism in Pakistan.
