India on Sunday rejected accusations by Pakistani authorities that a terrorist attack in Karachi was carried out by an “Indian proxy” and said Islamabad should take credible action against terror infrastructure on Pakistani soil.
Three Pakistani security personnel and three terrorists were killed in the attack on the provincial headquarters of the paramilitary Pakistan Rangers in Karachi on Saturday night.
Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, a breakaway faction of the Pakistani Taliban, claimed the attack. Pakistan’s military and interior minister Mohsin Naqvi claimed the assault was carried out by an “Indian proxy” but provided no evidence to support the allegation.
Randhir Jaiswal on ‘baseless allegations’ by Pakistan
“We have seen Pakistani reports making baseless allegations against India regarding the recent incident in Karachi,” external affairs ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said.
“We categorically reject them. Instead of pointing fingers at others, Pakistan would do better to look inwards, take credible action against the terror infrastructure on its territory and rid itself of its proclivity to rely on terrorism as an instrument of state policy,” he said.
