Obama is pushing Susan Rice for secretary of state job: Sources

Speaking at a news conference in the capital Islamabad on Saturday, Qureshi said India was pursuing an agenda to destabilize Pakistan and that New Delhi was behind a fresh wave of terror attacks in the country.

The top Pakistani diplomat said Islamabad would present to the United Nations (UN), Organization of Islamic Countries (OIC) and five permanent members of the UN Security Council a dossier of concrete evidence, proving India’s financial and material help to multiple terrorist organizations in Pakistan.

“Pakistan has shared its concerns with major international partners before. We are now presenting irrefutable evidence to the world of the Indian state’s direct sponsorship of terrorism inside Pakistan that has resulted in the deaths of innocent Pakistanis,” Qureshi told reporters alongside the spokesperson for the country’s military.

“We expect the international community to play its role for peace and stability in the region by compelling India to immediately halt its state sponsorship of terrorism inside Pakistan,” he added.

Providing further details on the dossier, the Pakistani foreign minister claimed that India’s Research & Analysis Wing (RAW) intelligence agency was operating a network of agents and training camps through its diplomatic missions in Afghanistan, which were financing, training and equipping militants operating inside Pakistan.

Qureshi also claimed that Islamabad had obtained documents showing New Delhi had met with and funded members of the Pakistani Taliban, as well as militant groups from the southern province of Balochistan.

There has been no comment yet from India on the latest allegations by Pakistan.

The accusations come at a time of heightened tension between the two nuclear-armed neighbors after at least 10 civilians and five security personnel were killed on Friday in cross-border shelling along the Line of Control (LoC), a de facto border that divides the disputed Jammu and Kashmir region.

Pakistani officials have long claimed that India sponsors violent groups in Pakistan, with New Delhi strongly rejecting the claims and accusing Islamabad itself of supporting militants who launch attacks in India and fight in the Indian-controlled portion of Kashmir.

The disputed territory has been split between India and Pakistan since their partition in 1947. The countries have fought three wars over the region.

On August 5, 2019, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Hindu nationalist government announced it was removing Kashmir's semi-autonomous status.

Following the announcement of the removal of Kashmir's special status, Indian authorities imposed harsh movement restrictions, made mass arrests, and blocked communication to thwart any protests.
