Pak demands India to apprise of Samjhota probe
ISLAMABAD: Pakistani Foreign office summoned the acting Indian High Commissioner to seek details of investigations into the Samjhota Express bombings.According to a press release issued by the Foreign Office, attention of the Indian High commissioner was drawn to the recent reports in the media on the probe into the blasts.
Indian official was told the government of Pakistan is awaiting a response from the Indian government at the earliest.
The matter was revived when a Hindu extremist leader, Swami Aseemanand, confessed that he was involved in the India-Pakistan Samjhota Express train bombing in 2007 in which 68 Pakistani nationals were killed, said a media report released on Friday.
Aseemanand in his confession reportedly said that the bombings were carried out in retaliation to Muslim militants attacking Hindu temples. “I told everyone that a bomb must be responded with a bomb,” Aseemanand exhorted.
