Pakistan denies involvement in
temple attack

Describing the charges as "ridiculous and mala fide", a foreign ministry statement said, "Pakistan categorically rejects the highly irresponsible statements from some quarters accusing Pakistan of involvement in the terrorist attack.

"Indeed, we feel that those behind this terrorist attack and those trying to drag Pakistan into it are working to heighten tensions in the region."

Deputy Prime Minster Lal Kishenchand Advani had indicated that Islamabad was behind the attack.

The statement said the attack did not promote any cause and expressed the hope that the perpetrators would be apprehended and dealt with in accordance with the law.

Earlier, Information Minister Nissar Memom told an international news agency that India was "trying to put the blame where it does not belong".
