The Charge d’Affaires was asked to convey to the government of India in the strongest terms, Pakistan’s condemnation of the shameless acquittal and exoneration of all accused in a dastardly terrorist attack, including Swami Aseeman, and an RSS activist, who publicly confessed to being the mastermind of the heinous attack.
