New Delhi, Nov. 3 (ANI): External Affairs Minister S M Krishna on Tuesday rubbished Pakistan’s allegations that India is fomenting trouble in Balochistan, saying that New Delhi is not interfering with the Islamic country’s internal developments.
Krishna told reporters in New Delhi that India has nothing to do with the developments in Balochistan or Pakistan.
He added that there is total confusion in Pakistan and there is no effective government functioning there.
Krishna’s comments come amid Pakistan’s claims that its security forces had seized Indian-made arms and equipment from the Taliban stronghold of South Waziristan, where the Pakistani Army has launched an offensive against the Taliban.
Meanwhile, Army Chief General Deepak Kapoor said that India was not interested in creating trouble in Pakistan, and it was time for Pakistan to stop pushing infiltrators cross the border in to Kashmir.
“The problem of terrorism is a problem faced by the entire region. India is not interested in creating trouble in Pakistani soil, unlike their constant attempts to push infiltrators into India. Pakistan has also repeatedly been hit by attacks. We’re all reeling under this menace,” he said.
Earlier, Pakistan Information Minister Qamar Zaman Kaira and ISPR spokesman Major General Athar Abbas had claimed that their troops had recovered Indian arms, ammunition, literature and medical equipment from Sherwangi, a key militant base that was captured a few days ago.
Pakistan’s Interior Minister Rehman Malik had also recently alleged that India was supplying arms to Taliban militants. (ANI)
