India today rejected allegations being levelled by Pakistan regarding New Delhi’s role in a blast that occurred in Karachi.
Ministry of External Affairs Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said, “We have seen Pakistani reports making baseless allegations against India regarding the recent incident in Karachi. We categorically reject those.”
Jaiswal added that Pakistan, instead of pointing fingers at others, would do better to look inwards, take credible action against the terror infrastructure on its territory and rid itself of its proclivity to rely on terrorism as an instrument of state policy.
A bomb and gun attack took place at the Sindh Rangers headquarters in Karachi’s Gulistan-i-Jauhar neighbourhood.
Pakistani military and government laid out two primary allegations regarding who was behind the incident and alleged that the blast was carried out by an “Indian proxy”. This came even as militant group Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, a prominent breakaway faction of the Pakistani Taliban/TTP, formally claimed responsibility for the assault.
The Pakistani military also claimed that they captured a wounded attacker whom they identified as an Afghan national.
The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.
The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.
The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
