Pahalgam Attack: Scared Pakistan Seeks China, Russia's Intervention For Investigation

After Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced harsh action against "perpetrators and conspirators" of the Pahalgam terror attack, rattled Pakistan is seeking help from other countries.

In an interview with Russian government-run RIA Novosti news agency, Pakistani Defence Minister Khawaja Asif sought help from Russia and Chaina before India's Narendra Modi government breaks Pakistan's spine economically, diplomatically and at the borders.

Khawaja Asif said, "I think Russia or China or even Western countries can play a very, very positive role in this crisis and they can even set up an investigation team that should be assigned this job to investigate. Let an international team find out the truth."

He said Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif also proposed conducting an international investigation.

"Let's find out who is the culprit and the perpetrator of this incident in India, in Kashmir, talk or empty statements have no effect. There must be some evidence that Pakistan is involved or that these people were supported by Pakistan. These are just statements, empty statements and nothing more," Mr. Khawaja was quoted as saying by the news agency.

In the cowardly attack, 26 innocent tourists, including a Nepali national, were killed. According to a victim's wife, who was present at the spot, the terrorists first asked about their religion and then shot them.
