SRINAGAR, Feb 19: PDP president Mehbooba Mufti today said that Pakistan was not being blamed for the Pulawama attack without any evidence and asked its prime minister Imran Khan to walk the talk.
However, Mehbooba said that Khan deserves a chance since he has recently taken over the reins of the country.
"Disagree. Pathankot dossier was given to them (Pakistan) but no action was taken to punish the perpetrators. Time to walk the talk," Mehbooba said in a tweet.
"But Pakistani Prime Minister deserves a chance since he has recently taken over. Of course, the war rhetoric (in India) has more to do with the impending elections than anything else (sic)," she added.
Khan on Tuesday assured India that he would act against the perpetrators of the Pulwama attack if New Delhi shares "actionable intelligence".
In a video message, he said Pakistan wants "stability in the region".
Khan said that he understood it was India's election year and the narrative of blaming Pakistan would make it easier to get votes from the masses but he hoped that better sense will prevail and that India would be open to dialogue.
The suicide attack in Pulwama had left 49 CRPF personnel dead.
