India Rejects Pakistan's Allegations Linking It to Karachi Attack, Calls Claims Baseless
India has categorically rejected Pakistan's allegations linking it to a recent militant attack on a Sindh Rangers compound in Karachi that killed four paramilitary personnel. The Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal described the claims as baseless and urged Pakistan to focus on dismantling terror infrastructure within its own borders instead of making unfounded accusations. The attack, claimed by the militant group Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, involved an explosives-laden vehicle and a prolonged gunfight, resulting in six militants killed and one captured by Pakistani security forces. Pakistan's Interior Minister alleged an Indian link without providing evidence, which India firmly denied.
