India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) strongly rebutted the charge, condemning the loss of lives but dismissing Pakistan’s claim as baseless and politically motivated.
“India rejects the baseless allegations made by Pakistan regarding Indian involvement with the incident in Khuzdar earlier today. India condoles the loss of lives in all such incidents. However, in order to divert attention from its reputation as the global epicenter of terrorism and to hide its own gross failings, it has become second nature for Pakistan to blame India for all its internal issues,” MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said.
“This attempt to hoodwink the world is doomed to fail,” he added.
