No evidence of Indian involvement in Balochistan: Clinton
Washington, Nov 1 (PTI) Amid Pakistan's charge that India
was fomenting trouble in Balochistan, the US has said it does
not have any evidence in this regard.
"Well, first of all, we have no evidence of that. I
mean, we just have no evidence of that," Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton said.
Clinton, who just concluded a three-day visit to
Pakistan, had made the remarks in Lahore during an interaction
with Pakistani editors who told her that many Pakistanis
believed India was fomenting trouble in Balochistan.
Describing Balochistan as "a very volatile region," she
said she had not seen any evidence from Pakistan about India's
involvement in Balochistan.
"Not that I've seen.... I have not seen it. I have not
seen anything like that. So I can't agree with you because I
personally don't have any information," she said, according to
a transcript made available by the State Department here.
Her comments assume significance in the wake of Pakistan
alleging that India was fomenting trouble in Balochistan and
that it had "evidence" to prove its claim. PTI ETB
