India involved in all terrorist activities in Pakistan: Islamabad

Pakistan's Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah said that there was 'clear evidence' of India carrying out terrorist activities in Pakistan, adding that the government has decided to present the matter before the international community.

'We have decided to bring our stance before the world and unveil India's face of terrorism,' he said in a media conference in Islamabad, flanked by Punjab Counter Terrorism Department Additional Inspector General Imran Mehmood.
'For decades, Pakistan has been burning in the fire of terrorism. Our mosques, imambargahs, important buildings, and gatherings have been targeted'.
Today, the matter that we are putting before you, we have evidence of India's involvement in it, Interior Minister said, referring to the Johar Town blast in Lahore previous year. 
In June last year, a powerful blast near the residence of Jamaatud Dawa chief Hafiz Saeed in Johar Town had killed three people and injured 24 others, including a police constable. 
Six-year-old Abdul Haq, his father Abdul Malik, 50, and a young passerby died in the explosion that left a four-foot-deep and eight-foot-wide crater on the road and damaged several houses and shops nearby.
Days after the incident, the then information minister Fawad Chaudhry and national security Adviser Dr Moeed Yusuf told a press conference that the mastermind of the attack was 'an Indian citizen and he is associated with Indian intelligence agency RAW'.
In the press conference today, IG Mehmood briefed on the investigation of the blast and revealed that the authorities had reached the culprits.
