ISLAMABAD: Foreign Office Spokesperson Dr Muhammad Faisal on Thursday said that Sri Lanka has not sought any formal assistance from Pakistani forensics experts regarding the blasts that took place in Colombo on Easter. He clarified that his statement regarding Dr Siddiqui had been reported ‘out of the context’. He said steps were underway to bring Dr Siddiqui back to home and the matter of her return was continuously being raised with Washington. “We are in touch with Dr Aafia and her family and will continue efforts to bring her back to Pakistan,” Dr Faisal said. Replying to a question he said Pakistan’s stance regarding Dr Siddiqui and Dr Shakeel Afridi was the same as before and there was no change in it.
