Defense Minister Khawaja Asif has called two major terrorist groups operating in Pakistan described Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) and Tehreek-E-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) as “Indian Proxies”.
In a speech on private television channel late Wednesday, he claimed that Islamabad would present “complete proof” of New Delhi’s alleged commitment to Khuzdar explosion that killed at least six people – including three children – and wounded more than 40, many of them female students.
The suspected bombers hit an explosively stressed vehicle into the school bus as it drove past Zero Point near the Rakhshan Hotel, Deputy Commissioner Yasir Iqbal Dashti said, adding that the bus ferries students to Army Public School located in the Khuzdar canon.
The vehicle was rigged with more than 30 kg of explosives, according to the bombing team.
Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) stated that “three innocent children and two adults have embraced Shahadat,” and several children have inflicted damage to the “Feige and Terrible Attacks planned and Orchestrated by the Terrorist State India and executed by its proxies in Balochistan.
“Bla and TTP are financed and instructed by India. They have nothing to do with nationalism or religion,” said Asif. “We will confirm all we have claimed.”
Asif described the attack as an attack on non-border and said “Pakistan will strike with full strength” against those responsible. He connected, among other things, to India and said its leadership operated from New Delhi.
The Minister also criticized India for rejecting Pakistan’s call for a joint investigation into last month’s Pahagam attack in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), who left 26 dead.
“India, without evidence, accused us. But we have evidence that connects India to, among other things, to violence in Pakistan,” he said.
