“India has not given any evidence. They have not shown any maturity in their response,” Dar said. “This is a non-serious approach. They started creating hype immediately after the incident,” he added.
The terror attack in Kashmir’s Pahalgam took place on Wednesday evening, when militants opened fire on a group of tours, killing 26 people and injuring 10 others.
