Earlier today, Pakistan called on Saturday for a “neutral” investigation into the killings of mostly Indian tourists in Kashmir that New Delhi has blamed on Islamabad, saying it was willing to cooperate and favoured peace.
Twenty-six people, mostly tourists, were killed and several injured when terrorists opened fire at a meadow near the popular tourist town of Pahalgam in south Kashmir’s Anantnag district on Tuesday afternoon, following which security has been beefed up across the valley, especially at vital tourist spots.
“Pakistan is fully prepared to cooperate with any neutral investigators to ensure that the truth is uncovered and justice is served,” said Pakistan’s interior minister, Mohsin Naqvi.
“Pakistan remains committed to peace, stability and the following of international norms but will not compromise on its sovereignty,” he told a press conference.
