ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister (PM) Shehbaz Sharif on Monday said that the revelations by the ex-Governor of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) about the reality of the Pulwama attack has exposed India’s designs against Pakistan, ARY News reported.
Taking to Twitter, the prime minister said that the revelations showed how the Indian government exploited the situation for political gains, which vindicated Pakistan’s position.
He urged the international community to take notice of India’s dangerous brinkmanship that could have led to disastrous consequences for the region.
In February 2019, an attack took place on Indian paramilitary troops in IIOJK killing more than 40 soldiers. India accused Pakistan of being behind the attack — a claim Islamabad has denied.

Earlier on Friday, Satyapal Malik – in an interview with Indian publication – said that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi hid key facts from the public about the incident.
Malik – who was governor during the Pulwama attack – revealed that the Indian prime minister silenced him on the security lapses that led to the terror attack so that they could benefit from it by blaming it on Pakistan.
He revealed that the attack on the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) convoy in Pulwama was a result of “incompetence” and “carelessness” by the Indian system, specifically the CRPF and the home ministry.

Malik also gave details of how the CRPF had asked for aircraft to transport its personnel but was refused by the home ministry.
He also said all of these lapses were raised by him directly when Modi called him from outside Corbett Park, shortly after the attack. He said the prime minister told him to keep quiet about this and not tell anyone.
