'If Pak is denying role in attack, let's accept their word' says Congress' Soz; criticised
Congress leader and ex-Union Minister Saifuddin Soz said, "If Pakistan says it's not involved in [Pahalgam terror attack], let's accept their word for now and rely on our investigating agencies." Speaking on Indus Waters Treaty suspension, Soz said India should not go that far. BJP's Anurag Thakur criticised Soz for "shamelessly defending Pakistan" and being sympathetic to a "rogue nation".
