Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan said Tuesday that India was blaming Pakistan for the Pulwama attack "<a href="http://www.wionews.com/india-news/jk-anyone-who-has-picked-up-a-gun-will-be-killed-says-indian-army-198231">without any evidence</a>".&nbsp;

Khan, who made a televised address saying his message was for the "Indian government", asked why Pakistan would do such a thing — mastermind <a href="http://www.wionews.com/india-news/pakistan-seeks-urgent-un-intervention-to-de-escalate-fresh-tensions-with-india-198228">the Pulwama attack</a> — just before the visit of Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Salman. "Why would we want to draw attention from that to this?"&nbsp;

He also asked what there was in it for Pakistan? &nbsp;

"Why will Pakistan do this right now when it is heading towards stability?" Khan asked.&nbsp;

Khan said Pakistan had also borne the brunt of terrorism — losing 70,000 people over 15 years to violence.&nbsp;

Khan also warned India that Pakistan would be forced to retaliate if India should attack it.&nbsp;

"If you (Indian govt) thinks you will attack us and we will not think of retaliating, we will retaliate," he said. "We all know starting a war is in the hands of humans, where it will lead us only god knows."

"It is in our interest that nobody from our soil spreads violence. I want to tell Indian govt that we will take action if evidence is found against anyone from Pakistan," he added.&nbsp;

Over 40 CRPF personnel died last Thursday in the Pulwama attack after a local youth, Adil Adhmad Dar, rammed a car laden with explosives into a bus ferrying Central Reserve Police Force personnel from Jammu to Srinagar.&nbsp;

The attack was later claimed by the Jaish-e-Mohammed terror group which is headed by Pakistani national Masood Azhar.&nbsp;

Azhar has been living in Pakistan ever since India released him after the hijacking of Indian Airlines flight IC 814 in December 1999.&nbsp;

Speaking about Kashmir on Tuesday, Khan said India is guilty of "one-dimensional oppression".

He said New Delhi Islamabad should talk, while referencing the current peace talks in Afghanistan.

"After 17 years, everyone has agreed&nbsp;there is no military solution in Afghanistan," said Khan.&nbsp;

Since the Pulwama attack, India has raised custom duties on Pakistani imports by 200% making trade between the neighbours virtually impossible.&nbsp;&nbsp;

India and Pakistan meanwhile have both called back their envoys for consultations.
