ISLAMABAD, Feb. 19 (Xinhua) -- Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Tuesday offered India cooperation in the probe into the recent deadly attack in Indian-controlled Kashmir that has heightened tension between the neighbors.

In a televised address to the nation, Khan asked India to share "actionable evidence" regarding the attack and Pakistan will extend cooperation in the investigation.

A suicide attack in Indian-controlled Kashmir last week left 40 paramilitary troopers killed. New Delhi blamed Islamabad for the attack but the latter rejected the allegations.

The Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) militant group claimed the attack.

"It is not in the interest of Pakistan to allow its soil for any terrorist activity as Pakistan is heading towards stability. If India alleges that Pakistani soil has been used for terrorism, it should share evidence. I want to give you (India) a guarantee that I will take action," Khan said.

The Pakistani leader expressed his regret that the Indian government started "Pakistan bashing" soon after the attack without any investigation.
