Federal Minister for Interior Mohsin Naqvi on Saturday accused India of financing and directing terrorist networks operating from Afghanistan, claiming they were behind Friday’s suicide bombing at an Islamabad mosque that killed 31 worshippers. Addressing a press conference in the federal capital, Naqvi said the attack was “planned, trained, and executed” through Daesh operatives based in Afghanistan, with foreign funding flowing in “directly in dollars.”
“Let me be very clear: India is funding them. India is giving them their targets. India is planning every step for them,” the interior minister said. “These organizations are on their payroll. The world may stay silent today, but a day will come when every country will acknowledge who is sponsoring this terrorism.”
