Islamabad: Pakistan has rejected India’s claim that the crew of a Pakistani fishing boat blew up and sank their vessel in an attempt to evade capture at the hands of Indian Navy in a high-speed chase at sea, Geo News reported Saturday. Pakistan Foreign Office spokesperson Tasneem Aslam denied any boat from Keti Bunder port of Sindh province had sailed off. Foreign office sources termed the Indian claim as mere propaganda to tarnish Pakistan’s image. Indian officials said Friday a Pakistani fishing boat loaded with explosives blew up in the sea and sank off Gujarat after being intercepted by the Indian Coast Guard.
