India on Tuesday dismissed as “baseless and unfounded” Pakistan’s allegations that New Delhi was behind the deadly suicide bombing in Islamabad earlier in the day, calling it a “predictable tactic” by a “delirious” Pakistani leadership to divert attention from the country’s internal turmoil.
Responding to media queries on remarks by the Pakistani leadership, Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said India “unequivocally rejects the baseless and unfounded allegations being made by an obviously delirious Pakistani leadership.”
“It is a predictable tactic by Pakistan to concoct false narratives against India in order to deflect the attention of its own public from the ongoing military-inspired constitutional subversion and power-grab unfolding within the country,” Jaiswal said. “The international community is well aware of the reality and will not be misled by Pakistan’s desperate diversionary ploys.”
His remarks came after Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif accused India of orchestrating the “suicide attack” that struck outside the district and sessions court building in Islamabad on Tuesday afternoon.
Sharif pins blame on India, albeit without proof
At least 12 people were killed and over 30 injured in the explosion, according to Pakistan’s interior ministry and hospital authorities.
Sharif, without offering evidence, blamed India for both the Islamabad blast and another attack in Wana, South Waziristan, alleging that “both attacks are the worst examples of Indian state terrorism in the region” and calling on the world to “condemn such nefarious conspiracies of India.”
The claim was swiftly dismissed in New Delhi, which reiterated that Pakistan’s accusations were “false narratives” aimed at distracting from its domestic political and security crises.
According to Pakistani media reports, the Jamaa-ul-Ahrar, a breakaway faction of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), claimed responsibility for the Islamabad attack. The TTP itself denied involvement. The militant group has carried out a series of deadly attacks in recent years, many targeting Pakistani armed forces, and has been at the centre of rising tensions between Islamabad and the Taliban government in Kabul.
The explosion occurred amid heightened security in Pakistan’s capital, which was hosting several international conferences, while a cricket match featuring the Sri Lankan team was under way nearby in Rawalpindi — around 10 km from the site of the attack.
Pakistan’s capital has largely remained peaceful in recent years, with the last major attack reported in December 2022, when a car bomb at a police post killed one officer — an assault claimed by the TTP.
