Pakistan Interior Minister Rehman Malik also said his country has a policy not to interfere in "internal matters" of other countries and said action will be taken if there is evidence.

"If there is any query from India to inquire into this matter, we will definitely look into it and take action. I have enquired on my own on this issue and I categorically state that there is no initiative from our side on this which has come to our notice.

"However, if there is any evidence with India and it is sent to us through proper channel, we will look into it and take action," Malik told CNN-IBN news channel.

To a question on why Pakistan was "adding fuel" to Assam turmoil, Malik asked what does Pakistan gain from trouble in India.

"We have also felt the touch of terrorism. Pakistan has a policy not to interfere in internal matters and to eradicate terrorism from this reason. India is our neighbour. The perception is absolutely wrong and motivated. Give us the proof, evidence and then see how we act on it," he said.

India says there is involvement of elements in Pakistan there to whip up communal sentiments by posting morphed images on the Internet in a bid to fan communal tensions.

On the 26/11 probe, Malik said the perception created in India that Pakistan is not cooperating in the probe is not "right" and that the country has taken action against all "non-state actors" much before the first dossier from India reached. (MORE)
