Pakistan Accuses India of Orchestrating Assassinations on Its Soil

India Dismisses Allegations as 'False and Malicious Anti-India Propaganda'

Pakistan's Foreign Secretary, Muhammad Syrus Qazi, has accused India of orchestrating the assassinations of two Pakistani citizens on Pakistani soil in 2023, alleging that the killings were part of a 'sophisticated international setup' involving Indian agents operating from foreign countries.
The two victims, identified as Muhammad Riaz and Shahid Latif, were reportedly killed in separate incidents near mosques in Rawalakot and Sialkot, respectively.
Qazi claimed that Pakistan has 'documentary, financial and forensic evidence' linking two Indian agents to the assassinations, but did not disclose the identities of the victims or the reasons for their alleged targeting by India.
India's Ministry of External Affairs has dismissed the allegations as 'false and malicious anti-India propaganda', asserting that Pakistan is the 'epicentre of terrorism, organised crime and illegal transnational activities'.
The accusations come in the wake of similar allegations made by the US and Canada, which have separately accused Indian agents of being linked to assassination attempts on their soil.
