Sharif rejects NSC statement on 26/ 11

Former Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Tuesday rejected the statement of National Security Committee ( NSC) held in the aftermath of his controversial remarks about the 2008 Mumbai attacks.

The NSC meeting had categorically rejected the statement of Nawaz Sharif. The participants had termed the remarks as contrary to the facts and said that Indian government did not present evidence for investigation. They observed that it was very unfortunate that the opinion arising out of either misconceptions or grievances was being presented in disregard of concrete facts and realities.

Speaking to journalists outside the accountability court here, Nawaz Sharif maintained that NSC’s declaration was painful and contradictory to facts. “The people should know who inflicted the country to this point,” he stressed.

Nawaz Sharif urged to form a commission over the matter to reveal the truth before the nation. He also confirmed the news of Dawn Leaks- 1 pertaining to security meeting.

Earlier, Nawaz Sharif had revealed in an interview that those who attacked hotel in Mumbai in 2008 hailed from Pakistan.

Speaking to Dawn newspaper, Nawaz Sharif asked if “we should allow non- state actors “to cross the border and kill 150 people in Mumbai.” He said: “Militant organisations are active. Call them non- state actors, should we allow them to cross the border and kill 150 people in Mumbai? Explain it to me. Why can’t we complete the trial?” Meanwhile, Mr Sharif ’ s daughter Maryam Nawaz on Tuesday opened a new pandora box saying that Dawn leaks news regarding National Security Committee was correct.
