Jamali's statement disappoints India

By Our Diplomatic Correspondent

NEW DELHI July 7. India today said it was "surprised and disappointed'' at the Pakistan Prime Minister, Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali's "extraneous references'' to the Indian Consulates General in Afghanistan and Iran in the course of comments on the "heinous'' terrorist attack on Hazara Shias at a Quetta mosque on July 4.

``The Government of India strongly condemns the terrorist attack at the mosque in Quetta targeted at the Shia minority. Continuing sectarian violence in Pakistan points to the need for Pakistan to assess the internal cost to it of the policy of using terrorism as an instrument of state policy externally,'' the Foreign Office spokesman said in a statement.
