On Monday, the Foreign Office (FO) dismissed the Indian Home Minister's "unfounded assertions" that linked specific arrests in his country to Pakistan. The FO characterized this as part of New Delhi's "malicious campaign" against Pakistan. Though the FO didn't directly reference remarks made by Indian Home Minister Amit Shah, the move followed his claim on X that the Indian government had "neutralized" a terrorist group, arresting numerous operatives, whom he attributed to Pakistan's support.
Pakistan firmly rejected the Indian Home Minister's allegations, linking them to a "malicious campaign" by India to deflect attention from its domestic security issues and to blame Pakistan for self-serving political gains. The FO statement highlighted India's internal repression of minorities and its silencing of dissent, alongside its external promotion of terrorism and support of terrorists.
The FO emphasized that baseless Indian claims cannot overshadow India's own state-sponsored terrorism and subversion activities. It pointed out Kulbhushan Jadhav, a convicted and serving Indian naval commander, as evidence of India's direct involvement in subversion and terrorism in Pakistan. The FO urged the global community to reject India's unfounded allegations and to hold India accountable for its "state-sponsored terrorism in the region."
