In a strong response to the Pahalgam terror attack, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman and Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has accused India of orchestrating a “drama” and using terrorism as a political tool, while offering Pakistan’s full cooperation for a neutral investigation into the incident.
Speaking at a press conference in Lahore on Saturday, Naqvi expressed disbelief at the speed of India’s reaction to the attack.
“It is astonishing that an FIR (First Information Report) was registered within ten minutes of the incident. Normally, a crime scene is sealed off for several hours for investigation,” he said.
Naqvi alleged that India is attempting to manipulate international perceptions and hinder Pakistan’s economic progress.
“Pakistan’s economic stability is intolerable for India,” Naqvi said, according to The Express Tribune. “The world must see how the country that claims to be the largest democracy is using terrorism to achieve its objectives,” he added.
Allegations against Indian intelligence agencies and BLA
Further escalating his accusations, Naqvi linked Indian intelligence services to destabilizing activities within Pakistan. He cited connections between the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) and India’s Research and Analysis Wing (RAW).
Naqvi alleged that the BLA and RAW are “interconnected,” stating that Pakistan holds evidence linking India to terrorist operations in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Call for transparent investigation by a neutral party
Reiterating Pakistan’s readiness for accountability, Naqvi proposed a transparent, independent investigation into both the Pahalgam and Jaffarabad incidents.
“We have proposed to India to conduct a transparent investigation into the Pahalgam and Jaffarabad incidents. We are ready to present evidence to a neutral committee,” he said.
He emphasized Pakistan’s full willingness to assist any neutral investigative body to uncover the truth behind the attacks.
“Pakistan is ready to fully cooperate with any neutral party conducting a probe, as we seek to expose the real perpetrators behind the attack,” Naqvi declared.
