Islamabad A Pakistani minister accused India of being behind the attack on Sri Lanka's cricket team in the city of Lahore on Tuesday, saying the attackers had crossed into Pakistan from India.

"The evidence which we have got shows that these terrorists entered from across the border from India," Sardar Nabil Ahmed Gabol, Minister of State for Shipping, told private Geo television. "This was a conspiracy to defame Pakistan internationally."

"This incident took place in reaction to 26/11," he said referring to the Mumbai attacks in November in which at least 170 people were killed. "It is a declaration of open war on Pakistan by India," said the minister, who is not one of the government's official spokesmen, but belongs to President Asif Ali Zardari's party.

Mr Ahmed Gabol by Dee Dee on 03 Mar 2009

Mr Ahmed , dont for a minute believe the Indians did this.We are basically a country of non -violent,vote -seeking wimps.And what with elections around the corner we dare not do anything that will take those votes away.And never mind Narendra Modi....he just likes to shoot his mouth off. Or Ram or Shiva Sena..........they are just a goon brigade at best.And besides we all love cricket and cricketers!! Lets take a guess ............maybe its the Terrorists?? We seriously think u should consider that angle.

Pak Minister accuses India by Lakshmanan on 03 Mar 2009

The shameless accusation against India is amazing!. Indian politicians still have to cover some more miles before reaching the level of Pakistani cabinet standard

Pak, lies and cricket by Varind on 03 Mar 2009

India does not believe in committing such dirty coward acts. India had cut one arm of Pakistan in 1971 and can cut the other arm if Pakistan does not refrain from sending terrorists to India. Pak should refresh it's memory that India does not send terrorists but brings 93,000 Pak army soldiers captured in East Pak..

WHEN WILL PAKISTANIS START SPEAKING TRUTH by Arun on 03 Mar 2009

There were hundreds of statements from Pakistani politicians and other "official" spokespersons immediately after Mumbai Incident and most of these were LIES until proven otherwise. The same thing is continuing now and will continue in the future. These people should ATLEAST understand the seiousness and importance of the issue on hand and LEARN to speak out the TRUTH even if they think its AGAINST THEIR OWN COUNTRY and TRY to FIX IT. BUT These Pakistani RULING/POWER-HUNGRY "elite" does not want to accept that "THEY" are a FAILURE and to be in POWER, they confuse their own people and PROJECT that everything is WELL and GOOD in Pakistan and that India and Other countries are projecting them in a bad state. The Pakistani people does know about the truth but they are used to "accepting" these lies and move forward as if nothing has happened. That is because they lost hope on their own individual freedom as most of their rule was under suppressing rule of army/dictatorship. HARSH BUT TRUE!

Lahore attack: Terrorists entered from India, says Pak by Anil on 03 Mar 2009

I believe that Pakistan is more than capable of defaming itself and certainly does not need India or any other country to help it. It is a pity that the world has taken 20 years to wake up to this fact, although some parts of the world are still in a bit of a denial about pakistan and its army/ISI link to terror. Huge amounts of funding for Pakistan simply emboldens it to believe that its course of terrorist activities is the correct. When will the world wake up to the stark reality. Perhaps after terrorists use a "dirty bomb".

pakistan lies by m.vasudevan on 03 Mar 2009

the moment we heard about the attack on the lankan players we had the inkling that someone in the government of pakistan will accuse india for this barbaric attack. that has come true. what guys are these illeterate guys.inspite of india s restraint these nonsense people will say anything they like. now its india turn to show these guys .attack the camps in pok areas,.and show to the world what is happening in that areas..its better let government of pakistan handover the reins of their country to the taliban and alquida so that all these guys will get perished themselves. india on its part should be very very alert from now on.wake up government wake up.

lahore attack by anubhav on 03 Mar 2009

definitely Mr. minister, reputation of your country is so good that we are just jealous of your progress and development. So we decided to go this way to defame you. One more thing now i just can understand the reason of you being such an strong nation, after all pakistan have very intelligent logical mind like you. I can guess you must be a product of greast Taliban school

India declares "war" on Pak by Hero Vaz on 03 Mar 2009

The attack shows a complete failure of the intelligence and security organisations in Pak. If Pak thinks the attack is a declaration of war by India on Pak, Pak should immediately snap diplomatic relations with India.

Attack is information by Ashok on 03 Mar 2009

What the Minister is meaning really is that the incident in Lahore is Information, not EvidenceHis Government is in the process of cooking evidence so that the proof of the allegation is suitably manufactured and presented to the world as EvidencePlease do not disturb the minister while he is diligently working on his thesis

True Lies by Kiran on 03 Mar 2009

What the minister is saying is true. These are the remaining terrorists with their left over arms from mumbai attack escaping from india and wanted to practice more in their home land.

Pak government by Abdul on 03 Mar 2009

I hope Pakisthan is not coward like UPA government and Attack India.

End of Pakistan has started! by Harinder Singh on 03 Mar 2009

There is no need to get overworked at Pak's comments. We should make our security perfect. Pakistan will disintegrate on its own. Pakistan's politicians, military, judiciary and terrorists trained by it are already on the job!

Fool Minister by Vedic Indian on 03 Mar 2009

It has not been few hours since the attack took place. Not even one of the attackers has been caught/killed. And this minister says the attackers "crossed from India". If he knew that they "crossed" from India then why did he not catch them when they were "crossing" . To me it looks like this attack was also planned by ISI, just like the Mumbai attacks, so that they can divert attention from their own complicity in the Mumbai atrocities.

Lahore Attack by Balaji on 03 Mar 2009

Time has come to wipe out Pakistan - every Pakistani is a terrorist; and terrorism is in the blood; and to wipe terrorism one will have to wipe the person out ! Pakistan doesn't understand the civilised languages. They should be taught a lession in the language they understand. India will end up paying a heavy price if it doesn't act now. Wake up Indians, wake up !
