ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Wednesday strongly rejected the reports of Indian media for linking the detention of some Pakistanis in Sri Lanka with recent Easter Sunday attacks.
“According to the information shared by Sri Lankan officials, seven Pakistanis were recently detained by the law enforcement authorities on account of overstay on their visas,” said FO spokesman in a statement.
The Spokesperson further said such attempts by elements in the Indian media were reflective of a particular, though familiar, mindset bent on twisting facts to malign Pakistan.
FO spokesperson drew attention to the call of Sri Lankan leadership to avoid propagating unverified reports and speculation.
