ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Monday said the footage of the Tehelka sting operation on post-Godhra riots in Gujarat was 'extremely disturbing' and wanted the truth to be brought out before the world.
           
Reacting to a question on the sting at the weekly news briefing, Foreign Office spokesman Mohammad Sadiq said "What has been shown is extremely disturbing for us."
           
"Pakistan is also concerned because in the context of the Nehru-Liaquat pact, we have a link to the issue," he said.
           
"We think that the carnage and terrorism that was experienced by Muslims in Gujarat should come out in the open and the world should know what happened there," Sadiq said.
           
The Nehru-Liaquat pact of 1950, signed by India's first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru and his Pakistani counterpart Liaquat Ali Khan, included a declaration by the two governments of the fundamental rights of minorities and an undertaking to enforce them effectively.
