Pakistan’s civilian and military leadership on Friday accused the square India of the terrorist attack on May 21 on a school bus in Khuzdar, Balochistan, accusing it of sponsoring a network it called Fitna al-Hindustan. The bomb demanded six children’s lives and wounded 51 others.
Interior Secretary Captain (Retd) Khurram Muhammad Agha and Director-General of Inter-Services Public Relations (DG ISPR) LT Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry treated a joint press conference in Islamabad, where they condemned “Feig attacks on innocent life” and promised retaliation.
“Our answers will be crucial. They will not succeed,” said Captain Agha. He added that the incident was not an isolated act of terror, but a calculated strike on “Pakistan’s traditions and educational values.”
‘India’s proxies that are now targeting soft civilian targets’
The domestic secretary stated that the first investigations indicate that ” Fitna al-Hindustan ” is responsible for the bombing and accused India of changing tactics after military failures in the region.
“After the failure of the operation, India instructed its proxies to carry out attacks in Balochistan,” Agha said, adding that soft goals like schoolchildren were now deliberately chosen to spread fear.
He added that Pakistan’s Ministry of the Interior, in collaboration with the Balochistani government, is conducting a comprehensive review of the incident and promised full support for the victims’ families.
DG ISPR: ‘India’s State Terrorism has a 20-year history’
