The Pakistan Army on Sunday refuted India's charge that it was behind the terrorist attack in Uri town of Jammu & Kashmir that martyred 17 Indian soldiers and termed the allegations against its establishment as "unfounded and premature".
Pakistan army spokesman Lt Gen Asim Saleem Bajwa asked for 'actionable intelligence' on Uri attack after the Indian government went ballistic with a series of volleys against the neighbouring country.
"Refuting the unfounded and pre-mature Indian allegation, Pakistani DGMO asked his counterpart to share any actionable intelligence," Bajwa said.
Earlier, Union Home minister Rajnath Singh attacked Pakistan on Twitter and held it directly responsible for the attack.

Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) Lt Gen Ranbir Singh clearly said that the terrorists belonged to the Pakistan based group Jaish-e-Mohammed and the weapons recovered from the four dead terrorists had Pakistani markings.

According to military sources, the terrorists entered the camp from the rear after cutting the barbed wire fencing -- without the sentries getting alerted.
After entering the camp, the gunmen resorted to indiscriminate automatic gunfire from AK-47 rifles after quickly spreading in different directions inside to inflict maximum damage.
They also hurled grenades at tents where soldiers were asleep, catching them unawares.
