'Pak would respond if provided evidence on hate content'

"I think the evidence is yet to be seen and I don't think that even the Indian media has seen it. If evidence is given to the Pakistan Government, it will respond," Pakistan's Member of National Assembly Khurram Dastgir Khan said here.

He was addressing a joint press conference at the 4th round round of dialogue between Indian and Pakistani Parliamentarians.

Khan was asked to react on Indian Home Secretary R K Singh's allegations that the MHA has identified over 100 websites on which false and morphed images were posted from Pakistan to incite people in India and create communal tension.

The Pakistani leader said that "if the hate mails are generated or not generated (in Pakistan), it emphasises the reasons why we here in India as we are here to create a positive atmosphere."

He termed the monitoring of the Internet by the two governments as "technical challenge".

Asked about the issue of Hindus from Pakistan crossing over to India, Khan said, "As far as we know, no Pakistani Hindu has so far applied for political asylum (here). The Government is dealing with it and the Supreme Court has also taken note of it."

He steered clear of questions on the possibility of release of Sarabjit Singh, Indian convict who is on death row in Pakistani, saying all these issues could be dealt only by the officials there.

Asked if the issues of terrorism were discussed at the meeting, MPs from both the countries said the two countries were "not trying to brush anything under the carpet but focusing on building a relationship based on the positives." (MORE)
