"What I'm saying is that I'm referring to a committee or a commission to investigate what happened in Indian occupied Kashmir, the tragic incident, which was condemned unconditionally by Pakistan, to find out who was behind this. So let India respond to it. Our Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif offered this morning today that let's make a commission, which will find out the culprit," Asif told Sputnik.
He also believes that third countries, such as Russia, China or some Western countries, can help resolve the crisis between Pakistan and India by creating an investigative team that will identify those responsible for the recent events in Kashmir.
On April 22, a terrorist attack took place near the town of Pahalgam in India's Jammu and Kashmir, killing 26 people, including one Nepalese citizen. A group of terrorists from the Resistance Front, affiliated with the Lashkar-e-Taiba group*, claimed responsibility for the attack. Following the attack, the Indian Cabinet Committee on Security decided to reduce the staff of the embassies of India and Pakistan in each other's countries, suspend the Indus Waters Treaty and close the only functioning land border crossing between the two countries.
In response to the restrictions imposed by Indian authorities, Pakistan's National Security Committee said the country would regard any attempt by India to divert the flow of the Indus River as an act of war, announced an immediate suspension of "all trade with India, including to and from any third country through Pakistan," and closed its airspace to all Indian flights.
