Minister sees 'foreign hand' behind PSX attack

ISLAMABAD: Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry has claimed that a foreign hand is involved in today’s terrorist attack at the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX). 

Taking to Twitter, he said the attack should be investigated from every aspect. “A foreign hand and [Indian spy] Kulbhushan Jadhav-like network’s planning is involved in it.”

He lauded the law enforcement agencies’ ‘remarkable’ performance for averting a huge loss by foiling the attack.
