NEW DELHI: Foreign secretary Vikram Misri on Monday briefed the Parliamentary panel on Pahalgam attack investigation. He said that the probe revealed that terrorists involved in the attack "communicated with masterminds in Pakistan", PTI reported citing sources.

"UN-designated terrorists roam freely in Pakistan, continue to incite violence against India," he further told the panel.

"Nexus evident among terrorists, military intel agency, civilian administration of Pakistan," he added.

Noting the neighbouring nation's "track record" in terror ism, he called the terror infrastructure "well established, rooted in solid facts and evidence".

He further informed the panel that the India-Pakistan conflict remained strictly within the conventional domain, with no indication of nuclear signalling from Pakistan.

Reaffirming India's stance on truce, he said that the decision to halt military operations was made bilaterally. This came after the opposition demanded answers over US President Donald Trump's claim that he helped the two nations reach ceasefire deal.

The Pahalgam terror attack took place on April 22 that led to the killing of 26 people.
