Pakistan is accusing India of sponsoring terrorism within its borders, a claim New Delhi has vehemently denied. This escalation of accusations comes in the wake of a suicide bombing on an army school bus in Balochistan's Khuzdar area, which resulted in multiple fatalities and injuries.

Pakistani Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has alleged that the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) and Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) are "Indian proxies," and has promised to present evidence to support these claims. These accusations are taking place even as Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif proposes a dialogue with India. He suggested the talks cover Kashmir, terror, water and trade and be held at a neutral venue such as Saudi Arabia.

India's Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal has dismissed Pakistan's charges as "baseless," calling them an attempt to deflect attention from Pakistan's reputation as a global epicenter of terrorism. India's position is that Pakistan's internal problems, particularly in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, are of their own making. Balochistan has been facing a separatist movement for years, with the BLA claiming responsibility for numerous attacks. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is a stronghold of the TTP, which has carried out hundreds of attacks in the country this year alone.

Adding another layer of complexity to the situation, Pakistan has also suspended all bilateral deals with India, including the Simla Agreement.

Meanwhile, India is conducting counter-terrorism operations in Kashmir, specifically targeting terrorists. Prime Minister Modi has reaffirmed India's commitment to ensuring that Pakistan pays the price for terrorism.
