New Delhi, Sunday — India has firmly rejected allegations made by the Pakistan Army that attempt to link New Delhi to a deadly suicide bombing in North Waziristan, calling the claims baseless and deeply irresponsible.
The Ministry of External Affairs issued a statement on Sunday, saying it “categorically rejects” Pakistan’s attempt to shift the blame for the tragic incident that unfolded a day earlier in Mir Ali, a volatile area near the Afghan border.
According to Pakistani military officials, a suicide attacker drove an explosive-laden vehicle into a military convoy, killing at least 13 soldiers. The loss has shaken communities and sparked concern over rising instability in the region.
India’s response has emphasized the importance of addressing terrorism through sincere internal reflection and not by externalizing blame. A senior official in New Delhi remarked, “Pointing fingers will not bring peace. What’s needed is decisive action against terrorism in all its forms.”
The tragedy in Waziristan is a painful reminder of the continuing violence faced by civilians and security forces alike in conflict-prone areas. As the region reels from the loss, both countries face growing pressure from the international community to exercise restraint and focus on cooperation rather than confrontation.
While tensions remain, many across South Asia are calling for a renewed commitment to dialogue, security, and a shared future beyond conflict.
