Islamabad: India is being accused that its intelligence agency agents are targeting terrorists on Pakistani soil. A report related to this has been published in The Guardian. Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry also alleged that it had credible evidence of the involvement of Indian agents in the killing of two Pakistani citizens. Pakistan spewed venom against India regarding this. It described it as a ‘terrorist’ act and said it was similar to the pattern seen in other countries, including the US and Canada. The Pakistani Foreign Ministry alleged, ‘The killing of Pakistani citizens on Pakistani soil by India is Pakistan’s responsibility. This is a clear violation of sovereignty and the UN Charter. It is important to bring the perpetrators, facilitators, financiers and sponsors of these extra-judicial and extra-territorial killings to justice. The statement further said that the Indian network of extrajudicial and regional killings is now a global phenomenon, requiring a coordinated international response. Pakistan has demanded to hold India accountable at the international level.
India rejected the report
This statement of Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry has come after the report of The Guardian. In the report, statements of intelligence officers of both the countries and documents given by Pakistan have been cited. The report says that after the Pulwama attack in 2019, India started targeting terrorists. However, the Pakistani Foreign Ministry has not commented on the media report. The Indian Foreign Ministry has completely denied the Guardian’s report.
What is India’s side?
Indian Defense Minister Rajnath Singh has given a statement that Modi government will kill terrorists by entering Pakistan. However, this is being seen as a political statement. Talking about India’s official statement, the Indian Foreign Ministry has denied these allegations. India’s Ministry of External Affairs refuted the Guardian report, calling the allegations false and malicious anti-India propaganda. Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishankar has already said that it has not been the policy of the Indian government to carry out target killing in other countries.
