Pak says Blackwill is 'ill-informed', prejudiced
Monday, August 4 2003 23:10 Hrs (IST)
Islamabad: Pakistan on August 4 launched a blistering attack on former US Ambassador to India Robert
Blackwill for his comment that terrorists incursions in Jammu and Kashmir were still continuing, saying he
seemed to be "ill-informed" and "prejudiced".
"Blackwill seems to be ill-informed, he is prejudiced and I think he is heartless because he is condoning
the atrocities being committed by Indian troops on innocent Kashmiri civilians," Foreign Office
spokesman Masood Khan told reporters in Islamabad.
"He is suffering from localitis", he said commenting on Blackwill's remarks to an Indian TV channel that
terrorist were still crossing over the line of control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir.
"The problems persist, there are still terrorists coming across the LoC," Blackwill had said four days
before he left Delhi after his two year stint.
The spokesman said there was no terrorist camp on the Pakistani side of the LoC.
"There is no substance to the allegations made by Indian Defence Minister and no terrorists are being
trained on Pakistani soil," Khan said while replying to a question about the allegation by George
Fernandes that 3000 terrorists are present in Pakistani side of Kashmir.
"It has become usual for the Indian leadership to fabricate such stories... Indian ministers are competing
with each other in demonising Pakistan," he said.
