Tragic Islamabad Bombing
Islamabad recently experienced a horrific incident at the Khadija Tul Kubra Mosque in Tarlai Kalan during Friday prayers. A suicide bomber detonated explosives
near the mosque's entrance after being intercepted by security personnel. This devastating attack resulted in a tragic loss of life, with at least 31 individuals confirmed dead and over 160 others sustaining injuries. The intensity of the blast underscores the severity of the violence that unfolded, leaving the community in shock and grief. Hospitals in the vicinity were placed on high alert to manage the influx of casualties, reflecting the critical condition of many of the wounded.
India's Resolute Condemnation
In response to the appalling attack, India has issued a strong condemnation of the mosque bombing in Islamabad. The Ministry of External Affairs articulated India's deep sorrow over the loss of life and extended heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims. The statement unequivocally rejected any implication of Indian involvement, labelling such allegations as entirely baseless and without merit. India views this incident as a symptom of Pakistan's internal struggles and urged the neighboring nation to concentrate on addressing its own security challenges and the underlying causes of such violence rather than deflecting blame externally.
Rejection of Blame
India firmly dismissed Pakistan's attempts to attribute the Islamabad mosque bombing to external forces, particularly to India itself. The Ministry of External Affairs emphasized that such accusations are not only unfounded but also serve to distract from the serious internal issues plaguing Pakistan's social fabric. India's stance is that instead of engaging in what it terms a 'blame game,' Pakistan should earnestly confront its domestic security deficiencies and the roots of extremism within its borders. This approach, India suggests, is a more constructive path than seeking to mislead by pointing fingers at others for self-inflicted problems.
