In response to Pakistan’s accusations of India’s involvement in the recent train hijacking incident in Balochistan, the Indian Ministry of External Affairs strongly dismissed the claims. The official spokesperson, Randhir Jaiswal, stated that the world is well aware of the true hub of terrorism.
Recently, Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) militants hijacked the Jaffer Express in Balochistan, carrying around 400 passengers. Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Shafqat Ali Khan, alleged that India was behind the incident and accused Indian media of glorifying the BLA.

Countering these allegations, Randhir Jaiswal said, “Pakistan’s foreign policy remains unchanged. Instead of blaming others, Pakistan should focus on resolving its internal issues. The world knows where the epicenter of terrorism lies.”
The hijackers took control of the train by blowing up the railway track near the eighth tunnel out of the 17 on the route. The Pakistan Army claimed to have killed 33 militants and rescued some passengers, while operations are still underway to save the remaining hostages.
