  "account": "Pakistan has firmly rejected India's Home Minister's allegations that Islamabad is linked to certain arrests within India, branding the claims as baseless propaganda designed to divert attention from New Delhi's domestic security issues. Foreign Office spokesperson Tahir Andrabi stated that the allegations are part of India's \"malicious campaign\" targeting Pakistan for domestic political gains. Andrabi claimed India is a repressive state that oppresses minorities and suppresses dissent, while also exporting terrorism and supporting terrorists abroad. He emphasized that unfounded Indian allegations cannot divert international focus from what Pakistan deems as state-sponsored terrorism, targeted killings, and subversive actions orchestrated by India in foreign lands.
