Speaking on multiple occasions, the Prime Minister has stated unequivocally that India is providing support to groups including the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) through sanctuaries and facilitation in Afghanistan.

"We Presented the Facts Before the World"

PM Shehbaz pointed to the Jaffar Express train hijacking in Balochistan as a prime example of the nexus between Afghan-based terrorists and their Indian handlers.

"I don't need to say a lot. The terrorists who abducted a train in Balochistan, the Jaffer Express, we brought its evidence before the whole world how TTP and BLA were active from Afghanistan and were in contact with terrorists there and also with their supporters in India."

"We presented these facts before the whole world and no one challenged or rebutted them."

The Foreign Office has corroborated these claims, confirming that intelligence reports and operational findings traced calls made by the train hijackers to handlers in Afghanistan throughout the incident. The FO clarified that there has been "no shift" in Pakistan's position, stating unequivocally: "India is involved in sponsoring terrorism against Pakistan".

Afghanistan: A "Hub for Sheltering Global Terrorism"

Pakistani officials have consistently described Afghanistan as a sanctuary for global terrorism, with the Afghan Taliban regime acting as a "strategic conduit for Indian hegemony". Analysts have characterized the Afghan Taliban as a "vassal colony of New Delhi" serving as a "staging ground for Hindutva-sponsored terrorism".

This "unholy alliance" - described by some as an axis between India and Israel - is weaponizing the Afghan governance vacuum to create chaos designed to destabilize Pakistan and sabotage projects like the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).

India's "Barefaced Hypocrisy"

Pakistan's Foreign Office has rejected India's statements criticizing Pakistan's counter-terrorism operations, calling them "baseless, misleading, and unwarranted". The FO spokesperson highlighted India's "active sponsorship of terrorism directed at Pakistan from Afghan soil" and its "historical role as a spoiler".

"It is preposterous for a state that has historically undermined the sovereignty and territorial integrity of its neighbouring countries, in violation of international law and the principles of the United Nations Charter, to comment on the upholding of such principles."

Pakistan's Resolve: "Befitting Response"

PM Shehbaz has warned India directly, stating that Pakistan will respond on the same front and in the same language to any aggression. He declared:

"I want to say something with great satisfaction and force to these terrorist elements and enemies of Pakistan that we are fully aware of your actions and we have given you a befitting response before and will do so again as well."

India's "Global Sponsorship of Terrorism"

Beyond Pakistan, Indian intelligence agencies have been accused of running "global assassination campaigns" and trying to destabilize neighboring countries. The Punjab Assembly Speaker noted that India was "buying people in Balochistan" to carry out terrorist acts.

Pakistan's Message to the World

The clear message from Islamabad is that while India denies these allegations, the evidence suggests otherwise. PM Shehbaz has emphasized that Pakistan will not bow to terrorism - foreign-backed or otherwise - and will use every resource to eradicate the threat.
