ISLAMABAD: Former Pakistan Home Minister Rehman Malik on Wednesday termed as a pack of lies the testimony of David Headley purportedly made during a deposition via video-conferencing before a Mumbai court, a media report said.
Indian media had earlier reported that Headley, an alleged Lashkar operative who turned an approver in the case, described how handlers from across the border helped him in planning the Mumbai attacks of 2009 that left more than 300 people dead.
However, Malik accused India of trying to defame Pakistan by concocting confessions out of Headley.
His confessions are all a pack of lies and fabricated statements, Rehman, who heads the Senates Standing Committee on Interior and Narcotics Control, said, as reported by the Express Tribune.
He claimed that Headley was planted by Indian intelligence agency RAW for executing the Mumbai attacks and then getting concocted statements from him.
We have the details about who paid tickets, who funded him and how he recruited non-state actors from Pakistan [for the attacks], Rehman said.
