Foreign Office spokesman Ms Tasneem Aslam has rejected the Indian claim of terrorist infrastructure camps in Azad Kashmir, saying that Azad Kashmir is an open area and international NGOs are there but no one could see any terrorist camp there.
In an interview with BBC she said that there is a terrorist infrastructure in India to carry out terrorist activities in Pakistan, adding, "Pakistan provided exact location and information about the terrorist infrastructure to the Indian government but no reply has been received till today.
To a question she said that India has already been told that Dawood Ibrahim is not in Pakistan and as far as Syed Salahuddin and some other Kashmiri leaders are concerned they are associated with the Kashmiri struggle against the India occupation.
She said that India cannot provide the slightest evidence that they are involved in the terrorist activity.
To another question the FO spokesman said that Pakistan has no link with the Mumbai blasts, saying that Pakistan has already condemn it and if India claims that any Pakistan-based organisation is involved then the Indian government should provide solid evidence.
