paragraph_text: Calls for independent investigation
  
  Following India's allegations of Pakistani involvement in the attack, Pakistan proposed the establishment of a neutral, independent, third-party investigation, to be conducted by an impartial body, while condemning the attack as a tragedy. Simultaneously, it accused India of exacerbating regional tensions. Pakistan's call for an unbiased inquiry received backing from China and Malaysia's Anwar Ibrahim. However, India categorically rejected the proposal, dismissing the notion of an independent investigation. Meanwhile, a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) was filed in India which sought a judicial investigation. The Supreme Court justice Surya Kant rejected the calls, stating that the court's role was to decide disputes, not to conduct investigations.
