India rejects Pak allegations against RAW

NEW DELHI: India has rejected Pakistan’s allegations about involvement of its secret agency, Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) in yesterday’s terror attack on Sri Lankan team.

Indian Home Minister P Chidambaram said that it was in Pakistan’s own interest to impede Taliban’s influence.

He said that India was neither fanning terrorism nor responsible for its spread.

To a question, Chidambaram said: “Cricket is safe in India. But security forces are required to make it more secure,” 

Pakistan, he said, was paying the price for not acting upon the Indian advice in this connection.
