The foreign minister informed Dr. Kumar that Pakistan had taken up the issue forcefully with the Indian side through diplomatic channels both in Islamabad as well as in New Delhi.  Immediately after the incident, the High Commission for Pakistan in New Delhi had asked the Indian government for provision of access to the surviving member of bereaved family, sharing of copies of the FIR and initial investigation report and facilitating the presence of the High Commission for Pakistan’s representatives during the post-mortem of the deceased persons. Qureshi assured Dr. Kumar that safety and security of all its nationals was the responsibility of the government of Pakistan.  The foreign minister added that since the victims of “Jodhpur incident” were Pakistan nationals, it was incumbent upon the government of Pakistan to be fully aware of the circumstances under which its nationals died in India. While appreciating the efforts made by the government of Pakistan in seeking justice for the victims of “Jodhpur incident”, Dr. Kumar informed that the Hindu Community would take further necessary steps to register its strong protest against the highly condemnable incident and the continuing failure of the Indian government to carry out a transparent and credible investigation to bring the perpetrators of the heinous crime to justice. Shah Mahmood Qureshi assured Dr. Kumar that Pakistan will continue urging the Indian government to provide the requisite information without further delay and carry out a comprehensive investigation into the matter and share its findings with the government of Pakistan.
