India has rejected Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's claim that Indian-backed rebels were responsible for two recent terror attacks in the country, calling it a 'predictable tactic' to deflect attention from the Pakistani military's power grab. Sharif had accused India of supporting terrorists who carried out a suicide attack near a court complex in Islamabad, killing 12 people, and another assault on an army-run cadet college in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province. However, India's external affairs ministry spokesperson, Randhir Jaiswal, dismissed the allegations as 'baseless and unfounded.' Jaiswal pointed out that the Pakistani military is attempting to consolidate its power through a proposed constitutional amendment, which would give the Army chief control over all three services. He accused Islamabad of concocting false narratives to distract its public from this development. 'The international community is not fooled by Pakistan's attempts to divert attention,' Jaiswal said. 'Recent terrorist attacks in Pakistan have been carried out by the Pakistani Taliban, which has safe havens in the country's northwestern regions.' Shehbaz Sharif had condemned the attacks and ordered an investigation, but India sees his claims as a desperate attempt to shift the blame. The situation raises questions about Pakistan's commitment to fighting terrorism and its willingness to work with India to address the issue.
