Defense Minister Khawaja Asif called two major terrorist groups operating in Pakistan-Liberation Army of Baloch Proscribed (Bla) and Pakistan Tehreek-E-Taliban (TTP) as “Indian Proxies”.
Speaking on the private television channel late Wednesday, he said that Islamabad would present “complete evidence” of the alleged involvement of New Delhi in the Khuzdar explosion which killed at least six people – including three children – and injured more than 40 years, many of them.
The alleged bomber struck a vehicle loaded with explosives on the school bus while he was passing by Zero Point near the Rakhshan hotel, deputy commissioner Yashbal Dashti said, adding that the bus transported students from the public school of the army located in the Khuzdar canonical.
The vehicle was rigged with more than 30 kilograms of explosives, according to the bombs elimination team.
Inter-service public relations (ISPR) said that “three innocent children and two adults adopted Shahadat” and that several children were injured in “the loose and appalling planned and orchestrated attack by the Terrorist State of India and executed by its proxies in Balochistan.
“BLA and TTP are funded and led by India. They have nothing to do with nationalism or religion,” said AIF. “We will corroborate everything we have claimed.”
Asif has described the attack as an assault against non-combatants and said that “Pakistan will fully strike in force” against officials. He linked the black directly to India, saying that his leadership operated from New Delhi.
The Minister also criticized India for rejected Pakistan’s appeal to a joint investigation into the Pahalgam attack last month in Jammu-et-Cachemire of Indian origin (IIOJK), which left 26 people.
“India, without any evidence, blamed us. But we have evidence connecting India to BLA and violence in Pakistan,” he said.
