India has reacted sharply to Pakistan Foreign Secretary's briefing rejecting Pakistan's involvement in the Pulwama attack.

“What we have noticed, however, are claims to offer dialogue on the one hand, while sponsoring and sheltering terrorists and terrorist organisations such as JeM on the other," said the Ministry of External Affairs in a late night statement on Friday.

It also accused Pakistan of not following a constructive approach while making a point by point rebuttal of the Pakistan Foreign Secretary's assertions and denials.

The Pakistan Foreign Secretary, the MEA said, cannot claim that it is unaware of the presence of JeM because its links to Pakistan are "clear and evident" with its ministers sharing the podium with UN proscribed terrorists.

The Ministry described Pakistan's demand for an investigation "preposterous" when there is a video of the suicide bomber declaring his allegiance to JeM.

There is other audio-visual and print material linking JeM to the terrorist attack. "We have therefore no doubt that the claim is firmly established," said the statement while seeking immediate and verifiable action by Pakistan against terrorists and terror groups operating from territories under its control "to create a conducive atmosphere in the region free of terror.”
