The Foreign Office (FO) on Monday rubbish-ed what it said were “baseless assertions”\u00a0by the Indian home minister linking Pakistan to the recent arrests of terror suspects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier today, Indian Home Minister Amit Shah said that security agencies arrested more than 200 “terror operatives” allegedly linked to \u200bPakistan, thwarting potential “subversive attacks” around the country’s Independence \u200cDay last week, in one of the largest such crackdowns in years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A multi-state \u200boperation against what Shah said was a terror \u200bgroup, which he accused the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) of backing, \u2060was carried out across 14 Indian states on August \u200b12, three days before India celebrated its 80th year \u200bof freedom from British colonial rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shah \u200bsaid agencies had \u200brecovered pistols, \u2060live cartridges and grenades allegedly bearing Pakistan Ordnance Factory markings and crude bombs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Questioned about the allegations, FO Spokesperson Tahir Andrabi said: “Pakistan strongly rejects the allegations made by India\u2019s Home Minister, attempting to link Pakistan with certain arrests in India,” adding that such propaganda was yet another demonstration of India\u2019s “malicious campaign against Pakistan” to divert attention from its domestic security challenges and to blame Pakistan for narrow domestic political gains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“At home, India is a repressive state, brutally oppressing its minorities and silencing dissent. Externally, India is exporting terror and abetting terrorists,” Andrabi stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He further said that “unfounded Indian insinuations” could not divert international attention away from India\u2019s state-sponsored terrorism, targeted assassinations, and subversion in foreign territories, adding that Pakistan had repeatedly shared evidence of India\u2019s involvement in terrorism and destabilising activities in Pakistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The convicted and serving Indian naval commander, Kulbhushan Jadhav, is undeniable proof of India\u2019s direct involvement in subversion and terrorism in Pakistan,” the spokesperson noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He stated that Pakistan had urged the international community to reject baseless Indian allegations and hold India accountable for its state-sponsored terrorism in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is not the first time that India has accused Pakistan of fomenting terror. Pakistan has also similarly accused India of funding and supporting terrorist groups in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last month, while responding to Indian allegations of cross-border terrorism in a recent<\/a> meeting of the United Nations Security Council, First Secretary Ansar Shah had said that “the baseless assertion regarding terrorism is in fact an effort by India to conceal its sponsorship and financing of terrorism against Pakistan. India’s terrorist proxies, the TTP, BLA and Majeed Brigade have killed thousands of civilians and law enforcement personnel, including women and children on our soil”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“India’s involvement in extraterritorial executions, including in North America, is also well known. India is not a victim of terrorism. It is a sponsor of terrorism,” Shah had added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“India is also a perpetrator of state terrorism, including in Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir \u2013 whose population is being denied its right to self-determination in gross violation of numerous resolutions of the Security Council,” Shah had further said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
