Reports

Reports claiming that India was involved in targeted killings in Pakistan following the 2019 Pulwama incident in Jammu & Kashmir have been refuted by the Ministry of External Affairs.

The Ministry of External Affairs has referred to claims made by a foreign media outlet claiming India executed targeted killings in Pakistan as “false and malicious propaganda” and denied any truth to those claims. According to intelligence agents in Pakistan and India cited in an article published in The Guardian, India’s action was a component of a larger plan to eradicate terrorists who were residing abroad.

In reaction to the report, the Ministry of External Affairs told The Guardian that the accusations were “false and malicious anti-India propaganda”. The ministry also emphasized an earlier declaration made by Foreign Minister S Jaishankar, according to which targeted assassinations abroad are “not the policy of the government of India.”

INDIA-PAKISTAN RELATIONS
India and Pakistan have been experiencing deteriorating ties for a number of years as a result of Pakistan’s claimed sponsorship of terrorism, accommodation for India’s designated terrorists, and unlawful possession of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

According to Geo News, Pakistan’s Defense Minister, Khawaja Asif, has voiced optimism for improved bilateral relations with India following the conclusion of the country’s impending general elections.

“After elections there, our relations with India could be better,” Asif told reporters on April 1 outside the Parliament House in Islamabad.

Later, on April 4, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said that India’s ties with all neighbours, except China and Pakistan, have improved significantly compared to previous times.
