Pakistan Ambassador to the United States Jalil Abbas Jilani on Tuesday rubbished reports of any warning issued to his country by US ahead of President Barack Obama’s India visit. “The Indian media has a tendency to invent and exaggerate things,” said the Ambassador when asked to comment on reports that the US had warned Pakistan against any terror attacks on the Indian soil during Obama’s visit.
An Indian news agency on Sunday reported from Washington that Pakistan had been subtly warned of the ‘consequences’ of any terrorist attack during President Obama’s trip if that is traced back to their country. The media reports said that the US had asked Pakistan to ensure there is no cross-border terror incident during President Obama’s visit to India. Defending Islamabad’s stand on terrorism the envoy said, “As a matter of fact John Kerry had deeply appreciated the steps taken by Pakistan against terrorism.”
