External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Anurag Srivastava earlier today in an online media briefing hit out at the neighbouring country for sheltering the Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) chief Masood Azhar who has been declared as a wanted terrorist and prime accused in the 14th February terror attack in the National Investigation Agency (NIA) charge sheet.
As quoted in a PTI report, the official said that India has shared enough evidence with Pakistan over the Pulwama Terror attack and accused persons in the case but the country continues to evade responsibility.
"Jaish-e-Mohammad had claimed the responsibility of Pulwama attack. The organisation and its leadership are in Pakistan. It is regrettable that Masood Azhar, the first accused in the charge sheet continues to find shelter in Pakistan. Enough evidence has been shared with Pakistan but it continues to evade responsibility," he said.

Further in the conference, the official also slammed Pakistan for taking a u-turn on the presence of Dawood Ibrahim in Karachi, saying it "lays bare" the insincerity" of Islamabad in responding to legitimate expectations of the world that it will track down international terrorists operating from its soil.
Earlier this week, the National Investigation Agency filed a 13,500-page chargesheet in 14th February, 2019 Pulwama terror attack case naming a number of Pakistani nationals, including Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) chief Masood Azhar, his brothers Rauf Asghar and Ammar Alvi, nephew Umar Farooq, six arrested persons and several other commanders of the terror outfits for their alleged involvement in the Pulwama bombing incident.
