New Delhi, June 28: India on Sunday forcefully dismissed Pakistan’s allegations of an Indian link to an attack on a military base in Karachi that left four paramilitary personnel dead, saying the neighbouring country should look inwards and take credible action against terror infrastructure on its soil.
Reports from Islamabad said Pakistani security forces killed six terrorists and captured another alive after foiling a brazen attack by militants on a Sindh Rangers compound in Karachi on Saturday night. Certain elements in the Pakistani establishment alleged an Indian link to the attack.
“We have seen Pakistani reports making baseless allegations against India regarding the recent incident in Karachi,” External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said.
“We categorically reject them. Instead of pointing fingers at others, Pakistan would do better to look inwards, take credible action against the terror infrastructure on its territory and rid itself of its proclivity to rely on terrorism as an instrument of state policy,” he said.
Pakistan’s Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has strongly condemned the attack and alleged without proof an Indian link to the strike. (PTI)
