Pakistan appreciates India for avoiding blame gameISLAMABAD: Foreign Office spokesperson Tehmina Janjua, on Thursday, appreciated the fact that the Indian leadership did not indulge in blame game after Wednesday’s blast in New Delhi. At a weekly press briefing on Thursday, she pointed out that immediately after the attack, the president and the prime minister of Pakistan both strongly condemned it. She rejected the Indian concern over developmental activities by China in Azad Jammu and Kashmir and said, “Development of any region is sovereign right of Pakistan and Azad Kashmir.” She appreciated China for providing assistance for the development of parts of Pakistan and Azad Kashmir. Replying to another question, Tehmina confirmed that Indian Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh had assured Gilani that his country would no longer oppose European Union concessions with respect to grant of market access to 70 Pakistani products in the World Trade Organisation (WTO). She said the assurance was reiterated during Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar’s visit to New Delhi. app
