Pakistan leader terms border blast as 'failed conspiracy', pays respect at Golden Temple

Amritsar, Nov 5 (ANI): A legislator from Pakistan Punjab Assembly, Suraiya Naseem termed the suicide attack at Wagah border as 'failed conspiracy' to create differences between the two neighbours, amid paying her respect at the Sikh shrine, Golden temple, in Amritsar recently. At least 60 people were killed and 110 wounded on November 02, when the explosion ripped through a car park about 500 metres from Pakistan's border gate just as hundreds of people left the daily performance. At least two Pakistani Taliban splinter groups have claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was revenge for the army's military operation against insurgents in the tribal region of North Waziristan. After offering prayers at Golden Temple, Naseem said that the militancy is a threat for both India and Pakistan, which needs to be tackled through mutual cooperation. Condemning the militant attack, Naseem said the blast at Wagah border on Pakistan side was an attempt to sour the relations between the two neighbours, but has miserably failed. Nov 5, 2014
