India firmly rejected Pakistan's allegations linking New Delhi to deadly Balochistan attacks that killed dozens, calling them "baseless" and diversionary tactics. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal urged Pakistan to address internal grievances instead of making "frivolous claims," highlighting Islamabad's record of suppression and human rights violations in the region. The Saturday attacks across Quetta, Gwadar, Mastung, and Noshki killed 17 law enforcement personnel and 31 civilians. The Baloch Liberation Army claimed responsibility under "Operation Herof," alleging 84 security personnel killed. Pakistan's military claimed killing 133 separatists over two days. Balochistan faces a decades-long insurgency by ethnic Baloch groups demanding autonomy and resource control. (PC: X/@MEAIndia)
