"We have been saying that whereabouts of Dawood Ibrahim were not known to Pakistan. And, finally, it has been admitted by the side which has been accusing Pakistan on this issue," Pakistan Foreign Office's newly-appointed spokesperson Qazi Khalillulah said during a media briefing here.
The Indian government was left embarrassed on Tuesday when Union Minister of State for Home Haribhai Parathibhai Chaudhary said in a written reply that the location of Dawood, India's most wanted terrorist, was not known to the government and once he is located his extradition process will be initiated.
"I would like to recall that after the visit of Indian Foreign Secretary to Pakistan in March, the Foreign Secretary had briefed the media about the Indian involvement in FATA and Balochistan," he said.
During the briefing, Khalillulah was also asked about India turning to the UN against the release of Mumbai attack mastermind Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi.
"All these measures have been taken and are highlighted during our interaction with our international partners," he said.
