Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has said he would act against the perpetrators of the Pulwama terror attack if India shared “actionable intelligence”.

He, however, warned against any “revenge” retaliatory action.

In a video message, PM Khan said it is in Pakistan’s interest that nobody from the Pakistani soil spreads violence. “Let me clearly tell the Indian side that Pakistan will take necessary action if evidence is found against anyone involved in the attack from Pakistan,” he said.

In his address, PM Khan said he should have responded immediately as Pakistan was blamed for it. “Since Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia was visiting, and an investment conference was under way, for which Pakistan prepared a lot, I decided not to respond then.”

Now that the Crown Prince has left, he said he decided to respond.

He said India blamed Pakistan for the attack without any evidence adding that the allegations were made without a thought as to how Pakistan would gain from it.
