Defence Minister Khawaja Asif, who is not really my cup of tea, went on a TV show the other day and called out two big terrorist groups in Pakistan – the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) and the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) as “Indian puppets”. He seemed pretty convinced that New Delhi was behind the Khuzdar blast that sadly took the lives of six people, including three innocent children, and left over 40 others injured, many of whom were young female students.
The whole incident went down when some dude drove a car full of explosives into a school bus near Rakhshan Hotel, killing and injuring a bunch of people. The Bomb Disposal Squad estimated that the vehicle was carrying more than 30 kilograms of explosives, which is just insane. The ISPR came out saying that India was pulling the strings behind this attack through its buddies in Balochistan, the BLA and TTP. Asif even went as far as to say that the BLA’s leadership was chilling in New Delhi, which is a pretty bold claim if you ask me.
Asif wasn’t holding back and straight-up accused India of being involved in the Pahalgam attack in IIOJK last month, where a bunch of people lost their lives. He was pretty peeved that India didn’t want to team up for an investigation and just blamed Pakistan without any proof. The ISPR also threw some shade at India, calling out their low morals and disregard for basic human norms for using terrorism as a state policy. The military is on a mission to hunt down anyone linked to these cowardly attacks and expose India’s true colors to the world.
