Pakistani diplomat Saima Saleem has called on India to condemn terrorism rather than lecture Pakistan, accusing New Delhi of supporting militants. The remarks come amid heightened border tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbors. Saleem highlighted concerns that Indian actions could be indirectly aiding militant groups operating in Pakistan.
Security forces in Pakistan’s Balochistan province have killed over 30 militants in intelligence-led operations since September 21, according to military reports. The province, bordering Iran and Afghanistan, has long been a hotspot for separatist insurgency. The recent operations are part of a broader campaign to curb insurgent violence.
The military operations and diplomatic tensions reflect the complex relationship between Pakistan and India. While Pakistan seeks international support to combat terrorism, it faces internal challenges from insurgent groups. The situation remains volatile, with both nations maintaining a delicate balance of power.
The ongoing conflict in Balochistan underscores the security challenges Pakistan faces. As the government intensifies its counterinsurgency efforts, the diplomatic rift with India adds another layer of complexity to regional stability.
