Nadia (West Bengal) [India], May 2 (ANI): BJP MP Jagannath Sarkar on Friday alleged that Pakistan is sending infiltrators to India so that they can commit crimes and blasts in India.

Sarkar said that Pakistan does not want to take them back and added that their intentions will not work in India.

A large number of Pakistani nationals who were in India are returning to their country via the Attari border after the Indian government cancelled all kinds of visas for Pakistani citizens following the Pahalgam attack.

'Pakistan deliberately sent infiltrators to harm India. Their intentions are not being fulfilled so they (Pakistan) are not ready to take them back. Pakistan is planning to send them here and commit crimes and explosions but this will not work in India', Jagannath Sarkar told ANI.

According to data as of April 30, a total of 786 Pakistani nationals have left India via the Attari border within six days beginning April 24, as per a senior official.

The terror attack, which claimed 26 lives in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam, was one of the deadliest attacks in the region since the 2019 Pulwama strike, which claimed the lives of 40 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) jawans.

The Indian government has broken every diplomatic ties with Pakistan and has taken specific steps regarding the same. The Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) met on April 23 and was briefed in detail on the terrorist attack in Pahalgam.

The CCS condemned the attack in the strongest terms and expressed its deepest condolences to the families of the victims and hoped for the early recovery of the injured.

In the briefing to the CCS, the cross-border linkages of the terrorist attack were brought out. It was noted that this attack came in the wake of the successful holding of elections in the Union Territory and its steady progress towards economic growth and development.
