ISLAMABAD: Terming it ‘completely irresponsible’ reporting, the Foreign Office on Wednesday rejected reports by the Indian media, claiming detention of a few Pakistani nationals after blasts in Sri Lanka, ARY News reported.

According to Foreign Office, it was completely irresponsible by a section of the Indian media to link detention of some Pakistanis in Sri Lanka with the recent events there.

The spokesperson clarified seven Pakistanis were recently detained by the law enforcement authorities in Sri Lanka on account of overstay on their visas. This information is shared by the officials in the Sri Lanka, the FO said.

“This is a purely consular matter and projecting it in any other manner is patently mischievous,” the spokesperson added.

He stated that such attempts by elements in the Indian media were reflective of a particular, though familiar, mindset bent on twisting facts to malign Pakistan on any pretext.

The spokesperson drew attention to the call of the Sri Lankan leadership to avoid propagating unverified reports and speculation.

Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Imran Khan had telephoned his Sri Lankan counterpart Ranil Wickremesinghe to offer assistance to fight terrorism while condemning horrifying suicide attacks that have killed 359 people so far

As per details, PM Khan condoled with the families of deceased and extended wishes for the speedy recovery of the injured.

“Pakistan has been a victim of terrorism, we empathize with the pain of Sri Lankan nation,” the prime minister said while offering complete assistance to the island country for curbing terrorism.

Since when we are expecting Indian media being responsible? In fact it is a tool of propaganda being utilized internally for extremism justification & projection to vote for Modi while becomes a media wing of R&AW against rivals through seeding non stop fake news/mislead/hybrid warfare. Just because Indian masses are being brainwashed in the manners of anti Pakistan doctrine; there are very less chances of any fake news attributed to Pakistan will be countered within India. Sri Lanka bombings, suspicious captivity of ISIS member by Indian Authority & the death of few of them and then the media barrage through malicious campaign; is all well coordinated and designed warfare against Pakistan executed in different domains.

Top Pakistani forensic scientist in talks with Sri Lanka to send experts’ team

There is reason why India is blaming Pakistan because forensic expert team from Pakistan will get difficulties to help sri Lanka in order to identify dead body of suicide bomber, So that further investigation can be proceeded.

ISIS claimed the responsibility of attack. But we know those are supporting ISIS in reality. One of them is India, Sri Lanka should not forget LTTE which was funded by india.

India is supplying IED equipment to ISIS - Conflict Armament Research.

It's not just Pakistani's but even few Indian's are also detained it seems. It's all part of the current investigation I guess. I don't understand why Pakistan FO is being so defensive ???

An excerpt from above;

Sirisena invoked arrest powers for the military not used here since 2011, and authorities had detained more than 20 people, including several Indian and Pakistani citizens.

Some were arrested at a large home in Colombo belonging to the family of Thowheed Jamaath’s alleged leader, according to a police official who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Indian media is the worst media in the world . They just care about rating.

Absolutely they are terrible. I thought Fox, CNN and Sky news were bad but Indian media takes the biscuit. Such sensationalist, over-graphicised nonsense. And they do it because they can easily get away with it as they have a massive audience, most of which are not interested or have time to look at facts, but happy to be spoon fed nonsense.

Get a few people to believe in some nonsensical headline, others will soon follow and others after them. And they have over a billion people to feed this crap to
