Nobody can cast evil eye on India: MEA on Saeed's remarks

Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) official spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin on Thursday said that nobody has the wherewithal to cast an evil eye on India and assured that the nations defence was secure.

"If I can recollect Amir Khusrau's poem " Dilli Dur Ast!" nobody ever can cast an eye on us, our defense is secure," Akbaruddin told mediapersons here while reacting on Jama'at-ud-Da'wah (JuD) chief Hafiz Saeed's remarks.

On Tuesday, members of the banned terrorist outfit Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) attacked the Army Public School in Peshawar. According to reports, the terrorists stormed the Peshawar school dressed as Frontier Corps officers. One of the militants reportedly blew himself up, while the others were gunned down by security agencies. Hundreds of people were taken hostage within the school premises before the terrorists were eliminated.

After the incident, Saeed reportedly blamed India for the attacks and has allegedly vowed revenge, claiming the strikes were a conspiracy against Pakistan.
