NEW DELHI, July 23 (Xinhua) -- Indian government officials Thursday denied reports appearing in the Pakistani media detailing Indian involvement in the country's Balochistan province.
"The accusation of the involvement of Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) in terrorist activities in Pakistan, including the attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team in Lahore and on a police academy on the outskirts of the city earlier this year, is absurd," said the officials on condition of anonymity.
The RAW is the top intelligence agency of the government of India.
These officials also challenged Pakistan to hand over relevant dossier to India to support its accusation.
On Wednesday, the Dawn newspaper of Pakistan published a report claiming that when Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in Sharm el-Sheikh last week, a dossier was handed over to India detailing the involvement of RAW in Balochistan and hinting at a RAW hand in the attack on Sri Lankan cricketers in March this year.
"This report is totally fabricated. No dossier was handed over to India by the Pakistan side, except the one detailing the steps taken on the Mumbai terror attacks. There is no question of any Indian involvement in Pakistan," the officials said.
The Dawn newspaper also reported that the dossier had a description of Indian arms and explosives used in the attack on the Sri Lankan team.
