India Dismisses Pakistani Claims of Involvement in Assassinations

In response to allegations made by Pakistan linking India to the deaths of two Pakistani nationals, the Ministry of External Affairs official spokesperson, Randhir Jaiswal, categorically dismissed the claims, calling them the latest attempt at “peddling false and malicious anti-India propaganda.” Jaiswal emphasized that Pakistan has long been the epicenter of terrorism, organized crime, and illegal transnational activities. He stated that India, along with many other nations, has warned Pakistan about the consequences of its culture of terror and violence, asserting that “Pakistan will reap what it sows.”

Spokesperson Highlights Pakistan’s History of Terrorism and Transnational Activities

Jaiswal’s statement addressed media reports regarding remarks by Pakistan Foreign Secretary Muhammad Syrus Sajjad Qazi, who claimed that Islamabad had “credible evidence” of links between Indian agents and the assassinations of two Pakistani nationals. Jaiswal stressed that blaming others for its own misdeeds cannot be justified or provide a solution. He underscored that Pakistan’s allegations are part of a broader pattern of attempting to tarnish India’s image with baseless propaganda.

Indian Warning and Reference to Previous Remarks by External Affairs Minister

The statement referred to previous warnings issued by India and other countries cautioning Pakistan about the repercussions of its involvement in terrorism and illegal activities. It echoed the sentiments expressed by External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar in May last year, emphasizing that “victims of terrorism do not sit together with perpetrators of terrorism.” Jaishankar had criticized Pakistan’s foreign minister for “weaponizing terrorism” and highlighted the need for meaningful actions against terrorism.

This development reflects the ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan, with India strongly rejecting the accusations and reiterating its stance on Pakistan’s involvement in supporting terrorism and engaging in illegal transnational activities.
