India dismissed Pakistan's accusations in relation to the recent attack on the Jaffar Express in Balochistan. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said these allegations were "baseless", claiming they were an attempt by Pakistan to escape from responsibility.
The following official statement made by the MEA on this issue is that: "The accusations levelled against Pakistan by Pakistan are totally baseless. Pakistan must learn to look inward rather than apportioning blame to other countries, thereby evading its responsibility for its own domestic ills and failures."
India has often criticized Pakistan for harboring and nurturing terrorists, and this statement serves only to reiterate its stance. India thinks it is all part of Pakistan's plan to cover its internal failings by blaming India.
The Jaffar Express attack led to casualties and damage and was claimed by some local militant groups, while Pakistan tried to finger India on the basis of no credible evidence. Experts believe this is part of Pakistan's long-held strategy of shifting its internal crises outside.
India has once again asked the international community to recognize Pakistan's history of unfounded charges and push the international community to address the real problem: the terrorism breeding in Pakistan.
The strong position India is adopting amid the rising tensions sends out a message to the world that it will not accept baseless claims but remains committed to regional peace and stability.
