New Delhi: In a strong response to Pakistan’s foreign office alleging its possible involvement in the Jaffar Express train hijacking in Balochistan, India on Friday said the whole world knows where the epicenter of terrorism lies.
Ministry of external affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said, “We strongly reject the baseless allegations made by Pakistan.”
Jaiswal added that Pakistan should look inwards instead of pointing fingers and shifting the blame for its own internal problems and failures on to others.

On Thursday, Pakistan foreign office spokesperson Shafqat Ali Khan claimed that the rebels involved in the attack on the Jaffar Express were in contact with ring leaders in Afghanistan. He had also claimed that Pakistan had repeatedly asked Afghanistan to deny the use of its soil for terrorist groups like the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) for attacks against Pakistan.
Khan was asked about any change of policy as Pakistan had always blamed India for any activity by the BLA. But this time they blamed Afghanistan. To this, the spokesman replied by asserting that there was no shift in the policy.
“There is no shift in our policy. And again, the facts have not changed. India is involved in sponsoring terrorism against Pakistan. What I was referring to was, in this particular incident, we have evidence of calls being traced to Afghanistan. This is what I said,” he had said.
