Pakistan today said India's bid at the UN to ban Masood Azhar was "politically motivated" and "replete with frivolous information", two days after its close ally China blocked the proposal to get the JeM chief and Pathankot attack mastermind listed as a global terrorist.
Pakistani authorities have lodged a first information report into the Pathankot terror attack case, officials said on Friday.
Pakistan's former military ruler Pervez Musharraf on Thursday said that country's intelligence agency, Inter-Services Intelligence trains Lashkar-e-Tayiba and Jaish militants and terror attacks in India will not stop until New Delhi addresses the "core" issue of Kashmir.
The NIA on Monday registered a case to probe the conspiracy of Pakistan-based terrorist group, believed to be Jaish-e-Mohammed, behind the strike at the Indian Air Force base in Pathankot in Punjab.
IS-Khorasan was sanctioned for its links with Al Qaeda and involvement in several deadly attacks in Afghanistan and Pakistan that killed over 150 people.
Pakistan said India has denied that an official allegedly made remarks that the 2008 Mumbai attacks and a 2001 terrorist assault on the Indian parliament were "engineered".
It is believed that the attack was the handiwork of a freshly-infiltrated group of terrorists who could have entered along the Salamabad Nallah into the town.
Exercising self-defence is a nation's primary right when a situation demands 'immediate and proportionate action' and applies also to attacks by non-state actors, India told a United Nations meeting, highlighting several proxy cross-border and state-supported terrorist attacks like the 26/11 Mumbai assault the country was subjected to from its neighbour.
This is the first such incident in Jammu region when a drone carrying arms and explosives was shot down by the BSF, frustrating Pakistan's attempt to smuggle weapons into the Union Territory using the hexacopter.
