The MEA's statement came hours after Pakistan Federal Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry termed Pulwama attack on the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) convoy in February 2019 as "achievement" under Prime Minister Imran Khan's leadership. Our success in Pulwama, is an achievement of the people under the leadership of Imran Khan. You and us are all part of that success," Chaudhry said.
Chaudhry was replying to Ayaz Sadiq of Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N). Notably, Sadiq had claimed that Pakistan army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa's "legs were shaking" during a meeting in February last year when that country's foreign minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi told parliamentary leaders that they had to return Indian Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman otherwise, India would attack.
