Pakistan government’s duplicity in dealing with terrorism emanating on its soil has come to light not once, but on multiple occasions, the latest instance being of Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi publicly admitting that he is touch with Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Masood Azhar.
In an interview to news channel BBC, Qureshi said that "there is some confusion" about the role of JeM in the Pulwama terror attack last month. When the interviewer prodded him to reveal what the confusion was about, the Pakistan foreign minister spilt the beans and said, “We have asked them and they have denied it.”
Qureshi clearly seemed baffled by the questions thrown at him and in the haste to reconstruct his answers, made a mess of it and spilt more information of Pakistan government contacting JeM and denying their role in the dastardly attack that killed 40 CRPF soldiers in Jammu and Kashmir. His statements came even after JeM officially took responsibility for the attack.
The Pakistan foreign minister yesterday said Pakistan did not want to escalate the recent tension with India blaming India for the attack on its territory. Qureshi told CNN that the Islamic Republic is ready to take any steps that could lead top de-escalation including action against Azhar, given that India provides “solid evidence”.
“Please sit and talk, please initiate a dialogue and we will show reasonableness," Qureshi said in an interview to CNN. He also confirmed that Azhar is in Pakistan and keeping unwell. "He is in Pakistan, according to my information," Qureshi was quoted as saying.

In the wake of the attack and pressure from the Indian government, along with the world community, the government of Punjab province in Pakistan last week took control of a campus comprising Madressatul Sabir and Jama-e-Masjid Subhanallah in Bahawalpur. The campus is the headquarters of the Jaish-e-Mohammed terror group.
Banned Pakistani terror group Jaish-e-Mohammed carried out a brutal attack that killed 40 CRPF jawans on February 14 in Awantipora area of Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama district. The attack took place around 3:30 pm after a suicide bomber, identified as local boy Adil Ahmad Dar, in a Mahindra Scorpio car loaded with 350 kilograms of explosives rammed into a convoy of 78 vehicles carrying over 2500 CRPF personnel on the Srinagar-Jammu Highway.
Following the attack, Indian Air Force fighter jets on February 26 launched a major offensive against terrorist organisations using Pakistani soil to carry out terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir and annihilated training camps of the Jaish-e-Mohammed.
The offensive that was carried oas much as 1000 kilogrammesut by 12 Mirage 2000 fighter jets, ably aided by Indian Sukhoi jets that provided cover throughout the operation, around 3:30 am. The payload dropped by the Indian Air Force weighed
