Pakistan demands accountability for state-sponsored terrorism and denies accusations made by India.

Pakistan has vehemently denied assertions made by India’s Home Minister that Pakistan is connected to specific arrests in India, characterising the accusations as unfounded propaganda meant to deflect attention from India’s internal security issues.

In response to questions from the media, Tahir Andrabi, a spokesman for Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stated that the accusations were a part of what Islamabad called a “malicious campaign” against Pakistan for specific domestic political objectives.

Andrabi stated, “Pakistan strongly rejects the allegations made by India’s Home Minister, attempting to link Pakistan with certain arrests in India,” adding that the accusations were meant to deflect attention from India’s internal security issues.

In addition, the spokesperson said that New Delhi was engaged in terrorist and destabilising activities outside and accused India of repressing minorities and dissent at home.

Pakistan further denied what it described as “unfounded Indian insinuations,” claiming that they were unable to deflect international attention from claims that India was involved in terrorism, targeted assassinations, and subversion in other countries.

Andrabi cited the case of Kulbhushan Jadhav, a former Indian naval officer convicted of terrorism and espionage by a Pakistani military court. Pakistan used the case as proof that India was directly involved in subversive actions within Pakistan.

According to the spokesperson, Pakistan has frequently provided the international community with evidence of India’s purported participation in terrorism and destabilising actions in Pakistan.
