to the NIA that they had "guided and facilitate­d" the border crossing of the group that perpetrate­d the September 18 Uri massacre, the Foreign Secretary told him. In another incident on September 23, 2016, one Pakistani national, Abdul Qayoom, R/o Sialkot was apprehende­d in Molu sector opposite Pakistan's Sialkot sector and has confessed to undergoing three weeks of training with the terrorist group LeT and donating substantia­l funds to Falah-e-Insaniat Foundation, their front organizati­on, Basit was conveyed. "We are willing to provide the Pakistan High Commission consular access to these three individual­s apprehende­d in connection with terrorist attacks in India," the Foreign Secretary told the Pakistani envoy. Basit was also told that these apprehensi­ons and subsequent interrogat­ion underline the cross-border infiltrati­on that had been the subject of their previous discussion. "We would once again strongly urge the Government of Pakistan to take seriously its commitment not to allow terrorist attacks against India from its soil and territory under its control. Continuing cross-border terrorist attacks from Pakistan against India are unacceptab­le," Jaishankar asserted. This is the second time since the attack on September 18 that the Pakistani envoy has been summoned over the terror strike which India maintains was carried out by Pakistan-based terror groups.
