The Indian Ministry of External Affairs have recently shared a press release today condemning the Islamabad bomb attack in Pakistan, and also made some controversial statements. It has raised serious questions about why the country that is funding a terrorist group of the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) and various other groups in Pakistan, is paying its condolences at the incident to the neighbouring country.
The Indian government is playing double, as it sides with the blast victims in Pakistan’s capital and at the same time is also funding the terrorist groups.
Press Release of India
As per the press release issued by the Ministry of External Affairs, the government of India has offered its condolences for the loss of lives caused by the bomb blast in Islamabad.
The press release states, “The bombing at an Islamabad mosque earlier today is condemnable, and India condoles the loss of life it has caused.”
The ministry rejected the allegations of Pakistan by stating, “It is unfortunate that, instead of seriously addressing the problems plaguing its social fabric, Pakistan should choose to delude itself by blaming others for its home-grown ills. India rejects any and every such allegation, which is as baseless as it is pointless.”
Tarlai bombing investigation details
Pakistani authorities say the identity of the suicide bomber involved in the deadly blast at a mosque in Tarlai has been confirmed. Security sources told local media that the attacker had received training in Afghanistan and had travelled there several times before returning to Pakistan.
Officials said the investigation is continuing and that further details will be shared once verified. No independent confirmation of the claims has been made so far.
India behind regional terrorism
Government sources said several militant groups based in Afghanistan pose a security threat to the wider region. They added that these groups operate under the influence of the Taliban administration. It is not an allegation, as there are proofs on the internet that there is always a connection between Afghanistan and India in past militant attacks inside Pakistan. India has previously denied similar accusations.
The blast took place today during prayers at a mosque in Tarlai, on the outskirts of Rawalpindi. Officials have confirmed that 31 people were killed, while several others were injured.
Among those killed was Assistant Patrolling Officer Shahzeb Javed, a cousin of Islamabad’s Inspector General of Police (IGP), Syed Ali Nasir Rizvi. His death was confirmed by the police officials. The security has been tightened in parts of the capital and surrounding areas following the attack.
