ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has said National Security Advisor M. K. Narayanan's statement that New Delhi does not have clinching evidence to pin the Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) for involvement in the July Mumbai train blasts is a "lesson" against finger-pointing.

Welcoming Mr. Narayanan's statement, Foreign Office spokesperson Tasneem Aslam said it was "a lesson which must be learnt by Indian agencies and security forces that they should not blame Pakistan without evidence."

According to official news agency Associated Press of Pakistan, Ms. Aslam, speaking to the Voice of America, said there was a tendency in the Indian Government to blame every incident on Pakistan without evidence.

Contacted by The Hindu , the spokesperson said she would offer her comments on Mr. Narayanan's statement after the Id holidays.
