Demarche issued by MEA to Pakistan High Commissioner Demarche issued by MEA to Pakistan High Commissioner
August 09, 2016; New Delhi
Foreign Secretary summoned Pakistan High Commissioner Basit to MEA today and made the following demarche:
1. A Pakistani national Bahadur Ali @ Abu Saifullah, son of Mohd. Haneef, resident of Village Jia Bagga, Tehsil Raiwind, District Lahore in the State of Punjab, Pakistan, born on December 17, 1995 in the village of Jia Bagga, was arrested by Indian authorities in the State of Jammu & Kashmir on July 25, 2016 together with weapons (AK-47 rifle, live rounds, grenades, grenade launcher, etc.) as also sophisticated communication equipment and other material of Pakistani/international origin.
2. Bahadur Ali has confessed to our authorities that after training in Lashkar-e-Toiba camps, he was infiltrated into India. He was thereafter in touch with an ‘operations room’ of LeT, receiving instructions to attack Indian security personnel and carry out other terrorist attacks in India.
3. The Government of India strongly protests against the continued infiltration from Pakistan of trained terrorists with instructions to carry out attacks. This is contrary to assurances given by the Pakistani leaders at the highest level.
Bahadur Ali, in a letter addressed to the Pakistan High Commissioner in New Delhi, has requested legal aid and assistance to meet his family.
4. We are prepared to grant the Pakistan High Commission consular access to Bahadur Ali.
