ISLAMABAD
Adviser to the Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz on Saturday said there was no information of abducted Iranian border guards being brought to Pakistan.
In an interview, Aziz said Iran was levelling allegations against Pakistan but was not providing any evidence pertaining to the guards being brought to Pakistan.
He added that if the need arose Pakistan was willing to conduct a joint operation with Iran. “If there is information it should be shared with us.”
Iran claims five border guards were abducted by terrorists and taken to Pakistan and one from the group has been executed.
On Wednesday, Iranian President Hasan Rouhani discussed the issue with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif over telephone.
Foreign Office spokeswoman Tasnim Aslam said on Thursday that authorities had combed Pakistani soil in search of the missing Iranian guards, however, there were no clues that they were in Pakistan.
She said the Iranian guards went missing at least 5-10 kilometres inside Sistan and an organisation, Jaishul Adl, claimed the responsibility for their abducton.
She added Pakistan would extend all possible cooperation to Iran for the recovery of the guards.
