What Did Pakistan Foreign Office Say?
During a weekly press briefing, Pakistan Foreign Office spokesperson Shafqat Ali Khan stated, “India has been involved in terrorism in Pakistan. In the particular attack on Jaffar express, the terrorists had been in contact with their handlers and ring leaders in Afghanistan.”
Pakistan has been continuously accusing Afghanistan of frequent border skirmishes. The relationship between both the countries have strained with Islamabad claiming that the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) was using Afghan soil to launch attacks in Pakistan. However, Kabul had denied the allegations.
