Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif blamed India for the suicide blast outside an Islamabad court that killed 12 people, without providing any evidence. He also alleged New Delhi's involvement in Monday's attack on a Wana cadet college near the Afghanistan border, claiming "Indian-sponsored terrorist proxies" aimed at destabilizing Pakistan. Sharif accused the Afghan Taliban of acting as "India's proxy," linking TTP attacks to India. Pakistan Defence Minister Khawaja Asif declared the country "in a state of war," calling the Islamabad bombing a "wake-up call" and directly blaming Kabul's Taliban rulers. The allegations came within hours of the blast, as Pakistan continues its pattern of blaming India for domestic terrorism. (PC: X & News18)
