ISLAMABAD: National Security Adviser (NSA) Moeed Yusuf has called for an investigation into the real reasons behind the Indian missile’s landing inside Pakistani territory as he termed New Delhi’s clarification over the matter as suspicious.
On March 9, a supersonic projectile from India travelling at a high speed landed inside the Pakistani territory and fell near Mian Channu in Khanewal district.
After more than two days, India accepted that this was their missile launched “ostensibly” due to a technical malfunction during maintenance, the NSA said in a series of tweets.
However, the NSA said the development raised serious questions about India’s ability to handle such sensitive technology as the missile travelled close to the path of international and domestic commercial airlines — threatening the safety of civilians.
Yusuf also said it was “highly irresponsible” of New Delhi’s authorities not to have informed Pakistan immediately that an inadvertent launch of a cruise missile had taken place.
