Randhir Jaiswal- “We strongly reject the baseless allegations made by Pakistan."
India’s Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson, Randhir Jaiswal, has responded to the recent statement by Pakistan’s Foreign Office spokesperson, accusing India of involvement in acts of terrorism in Pakistan.
While addressing the media queries on Pakistan’s allegation, Randhir Jaiswal stated, “We strongly reject the baseless allegations made by Pakistan. The whole world knows where the epicenter of global terrorism lies. Pakistan should look inward instead of pointing fingers and shifting the blame for its own internal problems and failures onto others.”
Pakistan has accused India of carrying out acts of terrorism within its borders, specifically citing the recent attack on the Jaffar Express.
Pakistan’s Foreign Office spokesperson, Shafqat Ali Khan, alleged in a statement, “India has been involved in terrorism in Pakistan. In the particular attack on the Jaffar Express, the terrorists had been in contact with their handlers and ringleaders in Afghanistan.”
Pakistan’s Director General of Inter-Services Public Relations (DG ISPR), Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, speaking to a Pakistan-based news channel, also claimed that the attackers of the Jaffar Express had coordinated with their facilitators and mastermind in Afghanistan via satellite phone.
During the same interview, he also accused the Indian media of spreading misinformation during what he described as a difficult time for Pakistan.
When asked whether there was a change in policy—given that India was previously blamed for BLA-related activities while this time the accusation was directed at Afghanistan—Pakistan’s spokesperson stated, "There is no shift in our policy. And again, the facts have not changed. India is involved in sponsoring terrorism against Pakistan," the spokesperson alleged without providing any evidence.”
