India on Wednesday firmly rejected Pakistan’s allegations accusing New Delhi of involvement in the suicide car bombing near Islamabad’s district court, which killed at least 12 people and injured 36 others. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) described the remarks as “baseless and unfounded,” asserting that they were intended to divert attention from Pakistan’s deepening political and constitutional turmoil.

MEA slams Pakistan for false narrative

Responding to media queries about the Pakistani leadership’s comments, MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal issued a sharp statement.
“India unequivocally rejects the baseless and unfounded allegations being made by an obviously delirious Pakistani leadership,” Jaiswal said. “It is a predictable tactic by Pakistan to concoct false narratives against India in order to deflect the attention of its own public from the ongoing military-inspired constitutional subversion and power-grab unfolding within the country.”

He added that the international community was well aware of Pakistan’s domestic challenges and “will not be misled by Pakistan’s desperate diversionary ploys.”

Pakistan blames India without evidence

Earlier, Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had blamed India for two recent incidents — the Islamabad court attack and another at a cadet college — though he provided no evidence to support his claims.
Analysts have suggested that the Pakistani leadership’s accusations are aimed at deflecting criticism over internal instability, worsening security conditions, and mounting political divisions within the country.

Sharif’s comments came as Pakistan faces growing domestic unrest, economic hardship, and military interference in politics. Critics argue that blaming India serves as a political distraction from the government’s inability to maintain law and order.

Twelve killed in Islamabad suicide blast

At least 12 people were killed and 36 others injured when a car packed with explosives detonated near the district and sessions court in Islamabad’s G-11 area on Tuesday afternoon. The blast damaged nearby vehicles and shops, sending shockwaves through the neighbourhood.
Local police and rescue teams rushed to the site, cordoned off the area, and began emergency operations. Initial investigations suggest the bomber targeted a busy area during peak hours.

Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) later claimed responsibility for the attack, calling it retaliation for recent Pakistani military operations in tribal regions.

Blast follows Delhi car explosion

The Islamabad blast occurred just a day after a car explosion near Delhi’s Red Fort Metro Station, which also claimed 12 lives. Authorities in both countries have not found any evidence linking the two incidents, but Pakistani leaders have used the timing to push unverified narratives implicating India.

Indian officials have reiterated that investigations into the Delhi blast are progressing independently and that any attempt by Pakistan to politicise the incident is both irresponsible and misleading.

India calls for accountability

India has repeatedly urged Pakistan to focus on addressing terrorism within its own borders rather than fabricating allegations against others. The MEA maintained that such diversionary tactics would not distract the world from Pakistan’s internal crises, including military interference, economic instability, and rising extremism.

“The facts speak for themselves,” said a senior government source. “Pakistan must stop exporting baseless claims and start confronting the security and governance issues within its own territory.”

Conclusion

India’s strong rebuttal reinforces its longstanding position that Pakistan’s allegations lack credibility and are politically motivated. As investigations continue, New Delhi has made it clear that it will not allow fabricated claims to distort regional security narratives. Meanwhile, global attention remains focused on Pakistan’s deteriorating internal situation and the urgent need for stability within its borders.
