Rejecting Pakistan’s allegations of Indian involvement in the Islamabad suicide attack, India has labelled the claims as a ‘baseless’ and ‘predictable tactic’ used by Islamabad to deflect from its internal crises. India’s Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson stated that such ‘desperate diversionary ploys’ are transparent to the international community. The spokesperson highlighted that it is a known strategy for Pakistan to construct false narratives against India, particularly when facing internal challenges such as a ‘military-inspired constitutional subversion.’ The tragic suicide blast near a court in Pakistan’s capital killed 12 people and injured 36 others. Pakistani officials identified the event as a suicide bombing, noting the attacker’s failure to reach the court before detonating explosives. Despite no group taking responsibility, Pakistan’s Prime Minister has reiterated accusations of Indian state-sponsored terrorism aimed at destabilizing the nation. This comes after a recent fatal blast in New Delhi. Authorities in Pakistan are focused on identifying the individual responsible for the Islamabad incident.
