New Delhi: New Delhi on Wednesday rejected Pakistan’s allegations regarding Indian involvement in the terror attack on a school bus in the restive Balochistan province and said it was intended to divert attention from Islamabad’s reputation as the “global epicentre of terrorism”.
Responding to media queries, the official spokesperson of India’s Ministry of External Affairs, Randhir Jaiswal, said it has become “second nature for Pakistan to blame India for all its internal issues,” but this attempt to “hoodwink the world is doomed to fail”‘.
Five people, including three students, were killed and several others injured when terrorists attacked a school bus in Khuzdar district of southwestern Pakistan’s Balochistan province earlier in the day.
Jaiswal said India consoles the loss of lives in all such incidents.
“India rejects the baseless allegations made by Pakistan regarding Indian involvement with the incident in Khuzdar earlier today. India condoles the loss of lives in all such incidents.
“However, in order to divert attention from its reputation as the global epicenter of terrorism and to hide its own gross failings, it has become second nature for Pakistan to blame India for all its internal issues. This attempt to hoodwink the world is doomed to fail,” Jaiswal added. UNI
