India Denies Allegations of Maldives Impeachment Plot and Covert Pakistan Operations

India's foreign ministry rejects Washington Post reports claiming involvement in a failed Maldives political scheme and targeted killings in Pakistan.

• The Washington Post alleged that India was involved in a failed plot to impeach Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu by bribing members of his own party.
• The report cited a document called the 'Democratic Renewal Initiative' and claimed months of secret talks failed to secure enough votes for the impeachment.
• India’s Ministry of External Affairs dismissed the claims, accusing the publication of harboring a 'compulsive hostility' toward India and questioning its credibility.
• A separate Washington Post report alleged that Indian intelligence agency RAW has been running a program since 2021 to target UN-designated terrorists in Pakistan.
• India's spokesperson invoked a 2011 remark by Hillary Clinton about Pakistan's harboring of militant groups, further rejecting the report's credibility.
