The death toll in Pakistan’s mosque blast has climbed at least 59 lives, prompting a government pledge to identify the culprits while implicating India’s intelligence agency. The devastating explosion rocked a mosque in Mastung, Balochistan, during a procession marking Prophet Mohammad’s birthday, leaving destruction in its wake.
Accusation Against India’s RAW
Pakistani officials persist in their allegations that India sponsors violent groups within Pakistan, a claim that India consistently denies. Interior Minister Sarfaraz Bugti blamed India’s Research & Analysis Wing (RAW) intelligence agency in the suicide attack, although specific details and evidence were not provided. Bugti has announced a unified effort involving civil, military, and other institutions to combat those responsible for the Mastung suicide bombing.
India’s Response
India’s foreign ministry and government spokesperson have remained silent, refraining from immediate comments in response to the accusations.
