In response to media queries regarding baseless assertions made by India’s Home Minister, the Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mr.Tahir Andrabi, stated the following:

Pakistan strongly rejects the allegations made by India’s Home Minister, attempting to link Pakistan with certain arrests in India. Such propaganda is yet another demonstration of India’s malicious campaign against Pakistan to divert attention from its domestic security challenges and to blame 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.

Unfounded Indian insinuations cannot divert international attention away from India’s state-sponsored terrorism, targeted assassinations, and subversion in foreign territories. Pakistan has repeatedly shared evidence of India’s involvement in terrorism and destabilising 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.

Pakistan urges the international community to reject baseless Indian allegations and hold India accountable for its state-sponsored terrorism in the region.
