<p>The prime minister claimed that India has &ldquo;failed to share any evidence and is falsely trying to link Pakistan to the Pahalgam attack&rdquo;.</p>
<p>He further alleged that India has &ldquo;yet to respond to Pakistan&rsquo;s offer to have a credible, transparent and neutral international investigation to ascertain the facts behind the Pahalgam incident&rdquo;.</p>
