ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Monday strongly rejects the allegations made by India’s Home Minister Amit Shah attempting to link Islamabad with certain arrests in India, and urges the international community to hold India accountable for its state-sponsored terrorism in the region, the Foreign Office said.
In response to media queries regarding baseless assertions made by India’s Home Minister, Foreign Office Spokesperson Tahir Andrabi said, “Such propaganda is yet another demonstration of India’s malicious campaign against Pakistan."
Andrabi further said that India is diverting attention from its domestic security challenges and blaming Pakistan for narrow domestic political gains.
“At home, India is a repressive state, brutally oppressing its minorities and silencing dissent. Externally, India is exporting terror and abetting terrorists,” the statement added.
The spokesperson reiterated that unfounded Indian insinuations “cannot divert” international attention away from “India’s state-sponsored terrorism,” targeted assassinations, and subversion in foreign territories.
Andrabi added that Islamabad repeatedly shared evidence of India’s involvement in terrorism and destabilizing activities in Pakistan.
“The convicted and serving Indian naval commander, Kulbhushan Jadhav, is undeniable proof of India’s direct involvement in subversion and terrorism in Pakistan,” the statement said.
Pakistan urges the international community to reject baseless Indian allegations and hold India accountable for its state-sponsored terrorism in the region.
