India Rejects Pakistan’s BLA Claims
Pakistan’s military media wing described the violence as the work of “Indian-sponsored Fitna al Hindustan,” a term it uses to refer to the BLA. Responding to the allegations, Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said India “categorically rejects the baseless accusations,” describing them as Pakistan’s “usual tactics to deflect attention from its own internal failings.” “Instead of parroting frivolous claims each time there is a violent incident, Pakistan would do better to focus on addressing the long-standing demands of the people of Balochistan,” Jaiswal said. He referred to demands for greater autonomy and control over the province’s natural resources, including gas and minerals.
