In a statement issued by the MEA, the Ministry said that it is not surprised by Pakistan’s response as the country had acted in a similar way after the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks and after Pathankot terror attack in 2016.

The MEA said that Masood Azhar is based in Pakistan and this fact was admitted by Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Mehmood Qureshi before International media.
Earlier in the day Pakistan shared its “preliminary findings” to India on the Pulwama terror attack and denied having any role in it. The country claimed that it had examined the 22 pin locations provided by India and found no terror camps also sought further evidence from India. It also sought further evidence from India. “We have sought further information/evidence from India to take the process forward,” said Pakistan Foreign Ministry.
India’s dossier contained 91 pages and 6 parts. Pakistan has stated that only part 2 and 3 were related to the Pulwama incident and hence the foreign office has responded to those parts only.
