Islamabad

: Pakistan on Thursday accused India of -"hurling unsubstantiated terror allegations-" at it, saying it undermines efforts to eliminate terrorism from the region in a -"collaborative manner-".

At his weekly news briefing here, Foreign Office Spokesperson Qazi Khalilullah said, -"Terrorism is a problem for Pakistan and the world at large, not just India.-"

Asked about allegations against Pakistan whenever there is a terror attack, he urged India to do away with the practice of -"hurling unsubstantiated terror allegations-" against Pakistan.

Khalilullah said such a practice undermines efforts to eliminate terrorism from the region in a -"collaborative manner-".

He said foreign secretaries of both Pakistan and India are in touch with each other to finalise the dates for the talks. However, Khalilullah, refused to give any time-frame for the talks.

India and Pakistan mutually agreed to defer the Foreign Secretary-level talks in the aftermath of the Pathankot attack. They agreed to hold the parleys in the -"very near future-".

India has sought action by Pakistan on the evidence provided for apprehending the Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) terrorists suspected to have been involved in the January 2 attack.

Asked to comment on the joint Indo-French statement on terrorism, he said Pakistan has given a lot of sacrifices in the war against terror to make the world a safer place.

Khalilullah said it has been appreciated by the world.
